WMO Forecasts Intensifying El Niño to Alter Global Climate Patterns

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) forecasts a strong El Niño to intensify during August-October 2026, significantly influencing global climate patterns. This is expected to increase the likelihood of above-normal temperatures across much of the world and cause major shifts in rainfall, leading to both wetter conditions and increased drought risks in different regions. This will impact global weather, agriculture, and water resources.
