The El Niño is expected to cause significant disruptions globally. Southern China may face heavy rainfall and flooding, while the northeastern U.S. could experience drier conditions. Conversely, the southern U.S. may see increased rainfall, raising the risk of mudslides. Australia is likely to experience drier conditions, heightening wildfire risks. Droughts are anticipated in India, southern and central Africa, and parts of Central and South America, potentially impacting agriculture and commodity prices. Ecosystems, including coral reefs, are also at risk due to warming waters and bleaching events.
