Super El Niño could cause 451,000 excess deaths worldwide
Summary
A report issued September 23, 2026, says researchers at the University of Chicago’s Climate Impact Lab estimate that extreme heat associated with this year’s projected “super El Niño” could cause as many as 451,000 excess deaths worldwide during the six months ending February 2027. Researchers also forecast a 44% increase in extremely hot days, with Nigeria, Indonesia, and Sudan identified among the countries most exposed. They warn that health effects could continue beyond the study period. Oxford climate scientist Chloe Brimicombe provides additional commentary.
