El Nino is intensifying in the tropical Pacific, with scientists warning it could be the strongest in 140 years. The phenomenon occurs when trade winds weaken, allowing warm water to spread eastward, disrupting weather patterns globally.
The UN cautions that rising temperatures could trigger droughts, crop failures and food price increases. Forecasters expect El Nino to peak this autumn and persist into 2027, potentially making it the hottest year on record.
