World Meteorological Organization Says Prepare for a Strong El Niño

The WMO says the event could intensify between August and October, with sea surface temperatures in some areas rising more than 2.9 degrees Celsius above normal.

  • The World Meteorological Organisation forecasts El Niño will strengthen between August and October, bringing above-average global temperatures and extreme weather events to many regions worldwide.
  • Climate scientists emphasize that current record warmth stems primarily from long-term climate change rather than El Niño, which contributes only a tenth to two-tenths of a degree to warming, according to climate scientist Zachary Labe.
  • About 82% of the world's ocean surface is overheated with marine heatwaves this year, according to Europe's Copernicus climate service, with temperatures in some areas projected to rise by more than 2.9 degrees Celsius above normal.
  • The pattern threatens India's monsoon rainfall and agriculture, while risking drought across Australia and parts of North America; conversely, Central Asia, the Horn of Africa, and southeastern South America face above-normal rainfall.
  • UN Secretary-General Ant Guterres warned the phenomenon is "adding fuel to a planet already on fire." Researcher Hausfather calculates a 35% chance that 2026 will pass 2024 as the hottest year on record, up from 7% in March.
