Strong El Niño Forecasted to Raise Global Temperatures and Health Risks Through 2027
A strong El Niño event, potentially the most intense in over a millennium, is expected to persist through mid-2027, causing global temperature rises and extreme weather patterns. Studies project nearly 451,000 additional deaths worldwide, including 15,800 in India, mainly from heat-related causes. The phenomenon may increase risks of infectious diseases like malaria and dengue, disrupt monsoon patterns in India, and threaten food security across Asia due to droughts and wildfires. Experts urge preparedness through health measures and climate resilience efforts to mitigate impacts.
