Record-Breaking El Niño to Trigger More Extreme Weather Worldwide

The New Scientist article presents five graphs illustrating the projected impacts of the record‑breaking El Niño, showing that a stronger event will increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather. In some regions, the graphs predict more intense droughts and higher wildfire risk, while in others they forecast greater flooding and more powerful tropical storms. The visual data highlight how the unprecedented intensity of this El Niño could strain water supplies, damage infrastructure, and threaten livelihoods worldwide. Policymakers and emergency planners can use these insights to prioritize resource allocation and strengthen resilience measures.
