Meteorological agencies warn of potentially strongest El Niño in 40 years
The World Meteorological Organization has warned that the current El Niño phenomenon could be the strongest in four decades, with sea surface temperatures in the Pacific expected to rise by 3.8 degrees Celsius above normal levels. This could lead to droughts, floods, and extreme heat around the world. The UN Relief Coordinator explained that about 50 million people may face increased hunger risks, and the potential damages to African countries could range between $10 billion and $20 billion. Over $50 million has been allocated to support 11 vulnerable countries, with a warning that the next two weeks will be crucial for securing funding and urgent aid, especially in East Africa, to prevent the worsening of the humanitarian crisis.
