El Niño “Super-Charged” by Climate Crisis, UN Weather Agency Warns

The current El Niño is likely to be stronger than any previously recorded, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The UN agency warns that the climate phenomenon, which fuels extreme heat, droughts, and floods, is intensifying beyond historical levels. While El Niño is a natural weather pattern, the WMO states that the ongoing climate crisis is amplifying its effects. This means the world should prepare for more severe heatwaves, water shortages, and devastating rainfall in the coming months.
