UK Met Office Warns of Record-Strong El Niño Impacting Global Heat and India's Monsoon
The UK Met Office forecasts that the developing El Niño in the Pacific could be the strongest in over a century, potentially making 2027 the hottest year on record globally. This event is expected to raise Pacific sea surface temperatures by more than 3°C, intensifying global heat and disrupting weather patterns. In India, the El Niño is linked to below-average monsoon rainfall, threatening agriculture and water resources. Experts warn of possible heatwaves and impacts extending into 2027, while noting El Niño's cyclical nature.
