WMO Confirms Very Strong El Nino Event to Persist Through Early 2027
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed that a very strong El Nino event is underway and expected to persist through February 2027. Sea surface temperatures in the central-eastern tropical Pacific have risen significantly, with subsurface heat also unusually high. El Nino, a natural climate phenomenon, influences global rainfall and temperature patterns, increasing risks of floods, droughts, and extreme heat. While not caused by climate change, it may intensify existing warming effects. The WMO highlights the need for preparedness against related climate impacts.
