The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a critical climate update confirming that the current El Niño event is set to intensify, with near-certainty to last until February 2027. UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric announced that sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific are forecast to increase to unprecedented, record-breaking levels between October and December. The weather body projects sea surface anomalies to reach up to 3.7 degrees Celsius above normal, significantly bypassing the previous historical record from the 2015–2016 cycle. This comprehensive global report details the severe economic and environmental risks predicted, including displaced rainfall patterns, extreme droughts, floods, and global heat surges.
