El Niño may hit record strengthsince 1950
The World Meteorological Organization expects the "El Niño" phenomenon to reach its strongest levels since 1950, with its peak anticipated in December 2026 and its effects continuing until February 2027. The rise in sea surface temperatures in the tropical regions of central and eastern Pacific exceeds usual levels by about 3.7°C, far surpassing the previous record of 2.6°C set in 2015-2016. This increases the likelihood of higher global temperatures and worsened climate change impacts. It is estimated that the "Super El Niño" could cause up to 451,000 additional deaths worldwide between June 2026 and February 2027.
