• A record-breaking El Niño event is underway, expected to bring extreme weather conditions across the globe.
• According to New Scientist (published October 14, 2026), this phenomenon will lead to predictable disasters such as floods, droughts, cyclones, and wildfires.

Impact & Risks

The ongoing El Niño is expected to cause severe droughts in Indonesia, wildfires in vulnerable regions, and floods in other parts of the world. Power grids and sewer systems in developed nations, such as the UK and the US, are at risk of failure due to extreme weather. Developing countries, particularly in Africa, face heightened risks of food insecurity and widespread hunger. Without sufficient preparation and funding, the impacts could be catastrophic for both rich and poor nations alike.
