The strengthening El Niño poses significant risks globally, including severe droughts in regions such as Australia, the Amazon, and Indonesia, as well as heavy rainfall in South America, East Africa, and the southern United States. These extreme weather conditions could disrupt agriculture, water resources, and infrastructure, leading to economic and humanitarian challenges. While the report does not specifically mention India, the country has historically experienced monsoon disruptions during strong El Niño events, which could impact agriculture and water availability.
