A significant El Niño event forming in the Pacific has exceeded the former temperature benchmark for this climate occurrence, with sea surface temperatures in a crucial area hitting 3.05°C over the average from 1991 to 2020. This figure surpasses the earlier high of 3.02°C recorded in November 2015, just months before the anticipated peak of the current event. Experts caution that the interplay between El Niño and ongoing global warming may heighten the dangers of severe heat, drought, wildfires, flooding, and food shortages across the globe. Global organizations are initiating proactive warning strategies as this phenomenon unfolds.
