El Ni帽o

鈥淓l Ni帽o鈥� 鈥� the boy 鈥� describes a warm phase in the tropical Pacific that releases huge volumes of heat from the ocean into the atmosphere every 2-7 years. El Ni帽o is predicted to be particularly disruptive in 2026 and 2027, raising global temperatures and triggering extreme weather events around the world. Together El Ni帽o and its inverse pattern, La Ni帽a, form the El Ni帽o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle.

PALEMBANG, INDONESIA - SEPTEMBER 19: A boy tries to extinguish wildfires near his house at Talang Jambe district in Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia on September 19, 2026. The area affected by wildfires in South Sumatra has now become the largest in Indonesia. The Indonesian government has stepped up firefighting efforts by deploying more than 50 aircraft to water bombing on fires and conducting weather modification operations to induce rain. Japan also sent three CH-47 Chinook helicopters and 180 personnel last week to assist with firefighting. (Photo by Muhammad Fajri/Anadolu via Getty Images)
