The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has warned that the El Niño effect is likely to return this May, potentially bringing significant weather disruptions. This phenomenon, characterized by warmer ocean temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific, could lead to extreme weather patterns globally.
Furthermore, the UN has indicated that the likelihood of El Niño intensifying could peak around mid-2026. As regions prepare for the possible impacts, experts advise residents to be ready for both heavy rainfall and heatwaves associated with this weather event.
