The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns that El Niño could become unprecedented in strength, driven by unusually high Pacific Ocean temperatures. It says the event would raise global weather risks, particularly during the coming months, when impacts are more likely to be felt.
Outlets report that the warming is expected to come with notable knock-on effects. NDTV emphasizes that higher temperatures and below-average rainfall increase heat exposure risks and add pressure on agriculture and water resources. Business Line focuses more on projected temperature departures and highlights a broader range of hazards—drought, floods and extreme heat—linked to shifting rainfall patterns and storm behaviour. While the framing differs, both accounts attribute the warning to the WMO and describe heightened stress on key sectors such as food production and water supply.
