El Niño's impacts vary globally, with some regions facing drought and water shortages, while others experience flooding and torrential rains. Agriculture, hydropower, and drinking water supplies are at risk, particularly in Central America, Asia, and Africa. Marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, may suffer from warmer ocean temperatures. The Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be less active, but any storms that do form could still cause significant damage. Economic losses and food insecurity are potential long-term consequences, as seen during past El Niño events.
