The extreme El Niño poses significant risks, including severe coastal flooding, increased rainfall, and intensified droughts in various regions. In California, the temporary sea level rise, combined with king tides and storm surges, could inundate critical infrastructure, such as highways, airports, and residential areas near the coast. Globally, the event is expected to exacerbate weather extremes, disrupt ecosystems, and strain water resources, particularly in already vulnerable regions. The event also highlights the growing influence of climate change on natural phenomena, as warming oceans amplify the intensity of such events.
