The United Nations has warned that the natural weather phenomenon El Niño is likely to return soon, potentially intensifying extreme climate and weather conditions worldwide. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reported an 80 percent chance of El Niño forming before September and a 90 percent chance by November. The agency said the upcoming event could be at least moderately strong, though it declined to confirm predictions that it might become the strongest of the century.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres called El Niño an “emergency climate warning,” urging countries to treat it as a global crisis. The WMO forecast indicates that nearly all regions could experience above-normal temperatures in the next three months, with heightened risks of droughts and heavy rainfall. Experts warned that agricultural production and food security could be severely affected, especially if extreme heat and drought persist.
The WMO noted that Pacific Ocean surface temperatures are already trending toward El Niño conditions. Analysts emphasized that fossil fuel use and global warming are making extreme weather more frequent and severe, calling for stronger early warning systems and faster transitions to renewable energy.
