A significant climate event is unfolding, with major implications for global weather patterns. Exceptionally warm conditions in the tropical Pacific Ocean are driving its development. This phenomenon is expected to persist through February 2027, with a near certain likelihood of continuation.

Preparations are being made to address the potential consequences, including extreme weather events. Efforts to step up early warnings are underway, involving international and national weather services. Further information on the expected impacts and ongoing preparations can be found through the World Meteorological Organization, which has issued an update on the situation.
