A robust El Niño is increasingly likely to form between May and July, with an 82% chance of this climate phenomenon emerging, according to the US Climate Prediction Center. Predictions suggest there’s a 67% probability of it being categorized as strong or very strong during its peak from November to January. El Niño, marked by warmer ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific, can significantly disrupt global weather patterns, ushering in extreme storms, temperature surges, and agricultural instability. Historically, such events have had devastating impacts, as seen during the catastrophic El Niño of 1997. The potential repercussions for food security and environmental conditions are raising alarms worldwide. Source and details of the news
