El Niño's impacts are expected to vary globally, with some regions facing extreme weather events such as flooding, landslides, and droughts. For instance, California may experience increased risks of extreme flooding, while Indonesia could see heightened wildfire activity. Marine ecosystems, including those near the Galapagos Islands, may suffer due to reduced nutrient upwelling. On the positive side, El Niño could bring much-needed rainfall to drought-stricken areas like the southeastern United States and reduce the frequency of Atlantic hurricanes. However, the economic toll could be significant, with potential global income losses in the trillions of dollars, as seen in past strong El Niño events.
