The upcoming 'Super' El Niño is expected to have severe consequences for India's ecosystems and communities. Scientists warn of widespread coral bleaching, increased wildfires, and the death of large rainforest trees, particularly in the Western Ghats. Farmers, fishers, and shepherds are likely to face extreme heat and drought conditions, leading to stressed crops, depleted water resources, and economic hardships. Urban areas may experience intensified heat due to the urban heat island effect, while subtle ecological changes, such as altered animal behavior and delayed fruit production, could also occur. These impacts highlight the urgent need for preparedness and mitigation strategies.
