The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and other researchers warn that the current El Nino event could be unprecedentedly strong, with sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific expected to rise up to 3.8°C above average between November 2026 and January 2027. This warming may cause extreme weather worldwide, including floods, droughts, and higher global temperatures. Studies also highlight increased coastal flooding risks and record heat in the Pacific, urging preparedness for widespread impacts on communities and ecosystems.
