The anticipated El Niño event is expected to have widespread global impacts. In India, the Met Office has already observed below-normal rainfall, which could affect agriculture and water resources. Globally, the event is likely to cause severe droughts in South America and the West Pacific, while increasing rainfall in regions like the Horn of Africa and parts of the Americas. The phenomenon could also lead to extreme weather conditions, including heatwaves and storms, further stressing ecosystems and human populations. The event's intensity underscores the growing challenges posed by climate change.
