A strong El Niño phenomenon could lead to an estimated 451,000 additional deaths globally from September 2026 to February 2027 due to increased temperatures. The effects may persist into the summer of the following year. Researchers analyzed data from 24,378 regions, linking monthly temperatures to excess deaths from 1996 to 2025. The most affected countries are expected to be Nigeria, Indonesia, Sudan, India, and Brazil, with the U.S. also facing significant impacts.
