El Niño events typically bring a range of global impacts, including heightened risks of droughts, floods, and severe storms. Regions such as Southeast Asia and Australia may experience drier-than-average conditions, while parts of South America and the southern United States could see increased rainfall and flooding. The warming associated with El Niño also contributes to higher global temperatures, which could exacerbate heatwaves and strain ecosystems. Vulnerable populations, particularly in areas prone to extreme weather, may face heightened risks to health, agriculture, and infrastructure.
