The super El Niño event poses a significant threat to public health, particularly in Nigeria and other impoverished regions. The lack of adequate cooling infrastructure exacerbates the risk of heat-related deaths, especially among vulnerable populations such as older people, children, and those with chronic health conditions.

Where this goesSpeculative4%this year

Nigeria is projected to face the highest heat-related death toll due to the super El Niño event.

What would confirm it
  • Heat death tolls in Nigeria and other affected countries during the super El Niño period from September 2026 to February 2027.
  • Government responses and adaptive measures taken by these countries to mitigate heat-related risks.
