The effects of this El Niño are being felt across multiple regions. In El Salvador, drought conditions have left livestock starving, while heavy rains in Argentina have caused flooding and evacuations. Coral reefs face increased bleaching risks, with 44% of reef-building species now threatened with extinction. Forest fire risks are rising in Central Africa and tropical regions. Additionally, extreme weather linked to El Niño is exacerbating poverty risks globally, particularly in Sudan and Sri Lanka, where food security and economic recovery are under threat. These impacts highlight the vulnerability of ecosystems and communities to climate variability.
