Alertă planetară. El Nino de "proporţii uriaşe" - Episodul 2026-2027 ar putea deveni cel mai puternic înregistrat vreodată - ONU - Economica.net

The World Meteorological Organization warns that the El Niño phenomenon is expected to intensify significantly in 2026 and 2027, potentially becoming the strongest on record. This event is driven by exceptionally high ocean temperatures and is likely to persist until February 2027. El Niño can lead to extreme weather events globally, including droughts and heavy rainfall, impacting agriculture and causing food crises. The current El Niño is already classified as very strong, with ocean temperatures exceeding normal levels by over 2 degrees Celsius. The WMO is enhancing its preparedness efforts to help countries adapt to the expected impacts, which may include higher global temperatures in 2027, potentially making it the hottest year on record.
