How can the same El Niño cause drought in one part of the world and floods in another?
The Pacific Ocean is experiencing an unusually rapid warming, leading to a strong El Niño that has surpassed previous records this year. Forecasters predict it will continue to intensify before peaking around December. This phenomenon is causing drought in some parts of the world while triggering floods in others.

AI analysisEl Niño's impact extends beyond the Pacific region, affecting weather patterns thousands of kilometers away through teleconnections. This can lead to significant changes in rainfall and temperature, impacting agriculture, water resources, and ecosystems globally.
The strength and duration of El Niño events could influence global weather patterns, potentially leading to more frequent or severe droughts in some regions while increasing the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding in others.
