00:00The WMO update shows that El Nino has strengthened and will continue as a very strong event, even exceptionally strong.
00:11In this trajectory continuous, it may be stronger than anything since our monitoring time, so literally off the charts we
00:21have used for the past four decades.
00:24El Nino will peak towards the end of 2026, but its impacts will be felt long after that, including on
00:32global temperatures.
00:34The powerful 2023-2024 El Nino contributed to 2024 being the warmest year on record.
00:43We should not be surprised if this record is broken.
00:47But this El Nino will deliver a major blow to communities, economies, and supply chains across the globe.
00:56So many sectors will be affected.
00:59Agriculture, trade, fisheries, health, energy, transport, water resources, disaster management, to name but a few.
01:10We are already seeing disruption and devastation from droughts and floods and extreme weather.
01:16We expect these impacts to multiply and cascade as El Nino intensifies.
