The ongoing El Niño event is already influencing global weather patterns. In South America, Brazil is experiencing wetter-than-normal conditions, with patchy rains in Argentina and dryness in Western Brazil. In Australia, early El Niño effects are evident, with dry and hot conditions expected in Eastern Australia, particularly New South Wales, over the next 15 days. Central and South India, currently facing drought, may see some relief with increased rainfall in the next 10 days, while Northern and Northeastern India are expected to become drier. Tropical West Africa is also experiencing drought, though marginally wetter conditions are forecast for areas near cocoa crop zones.
