Weather Agency Warns: This El Niño Could Be the Strongest in 70 Years

The World Meteorological Organization expects a powerful El Niño to form July–September 2026, possibly the strongest in over 70 years, lasting into early 2027. Carbon Brief reported the same on 3 September 2026. El Niño means Pacific Ocean waters warm up, shifting weather patterns and worsening droughts and floods around the world.
