The anticipated super El Nino could have catastrophic effects on India's ecology and communities. Farmers, fishermen, and shepherds are particularly vulnerable to the expected droughts and extreme heat. Additionally, coral reefs may experience significant bleaching, and wildfires could become more frequent. Subtle ecological changes, such as delayed fruit production and altered animal behaviour, may also occur, potentially disrupting ecosystems and livelihoods. The scientists emphasised the need for immediate research and monitoring to mitigate these risks and better understand the event's impact.
