WMO Forecasts Intensifying El Niño to Impact Global Weather Patterns

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) predicts that El Niño will strengthen into a strong event by August-October 2026. This intensification is expected to cause above-normal temperatures globally and significant shifts in rainfall, leading to both wetter conditions and increased drought risks in various regions. The developing El Niño, alongside warm global oceans, will influence worldwide weather patterns in the coming months.
