Record-Strengthening El Niño Expected to Impact Global Weather and Indian Monsoon
A strengthening El Niño event is developing in the Pacific Ocean, with sea surface temperatures reaching record highs. Experts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts predict this El Niño could be the strongest on record, potentially causing extreme weather worldwide, including droughts and floods. In India, the phenomenon may worsen an already delayed and weak monsoon, affecting agriculture and water resources. The event is expected to peak later this year, with significant global climate impacts influenced by ongoing climate change.
