GoKawiilWMO Declares Near-Certain Record-Strength El Niño Through February 2027
The World Meteorological Organization has issued its most confident El Niño forecast ever, putting the odds at nearly 100% that the current event will persist through February 2027. Officials say this El Niño, driven by unusually warm eastern Pacific waters, is on track to become the strongest ever recorded, with UN Secretary-General António Guterres warning it is being 'supersized.' The phenomenon is already disrupting weather patterns globally and is expected to intensify further in coming months.
