The United Nations has warned of a "supersized" El Niño event, potentially the strongest in over 70 years, with global impacts expected until at least February 2027.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres declared the planet is in a "danger zone of extreme weather."
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) forecasts sea temperatures could be up to 4°C above average, making it the strongest El Niño since at least 1950.
This phenomenon is expected to cause extreme weather, including droughts and wildfires in some regions, and increased typhoons and flooding in others, exacerbating existing climate change impacts.
