'Danger zone of extreme weather': UN warns of supersized El Niño set to hit global economy and markets
Summary
The United Nations warned that an intensifying El Niño climate pattern could persist through February 2027 and produce severe floods, droughts, and extreme heat worldwide. The World Meteorological Organization said tropical Pacific sea temperatures were more than 2°C above normal, with subsurface temperatures exceeding average levels by more than 8°C. Asia-Pacific and Latin America are expected to face the most immediate effects, including crop losses, wildfires, reduced fishing, and water shortages. Global commodities, energy production, mining, and economies could also be disrupted.
