"El Niño" threatens the world: "What will be seen in 2027 - has never happened in our history"

The climate phenomenon "El Niño" is expected to peak in December, but is already causing severe droughts on three continents, damaging crops and threatening food supplies. The UN warns that tens of millions more could slide into severe hunger. According to a New York Times report, this is an exceptional event that is already making its mark across the globe.

The climate phenomenon "El Niño" is intensifying and is expected to peak only in December, but it is already causing severe droughts on three continents, damaging crops and threatening global food supplies. The UN warns that tens of millions more could slide into severe hunger. According to a New York Times report, this is an exceptional event that is already making its mark across the globe. Vast areas in Panama have not experienced a significant storm since the beginning of May, the fertile highlands of Ethiopia are suffering from one of the most extreme heat and dryness waves in four decades, and India recorded its fifth driest June since modern rainfall records began in 1901. Experts note that the results on the ground reflect the magnitude of changes in the Pacific Ocean, where El Niño is developing due to an unusual accumulation of warm water. The current phenomenon is on track to become the strongest recorded in nearly 80 years. On the other side of the ocean, the phenomenon is disrupting crop growth in Central America, with rainfall in Guatemala dropping 85 percent below average in July. The dryness in Panama raises concerns about the continued operation of the Panama Canal, and the canal authority has already tightened restrictions on ship loads. In Kenya, the corn crop has been severely damaged, and farmers report an almost total collapse of output.
