Agri Buzz: Current El Nino event could be unprecedented in strength, warns UN

The El Nino weather phenomenon could be off the charts, the United Nations has warned. The current El Nino event could be unprecedented in strength, Celeste Saulo, head of the UN?s World Meteorological Organization, noted. El Nino will peak toward the end of 2026, but its impacts will be felt long after that. She said the WMO?s latest global seasonal climate updates forecast that sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean ? the epicenter of El Nino ? may rise to 3.8C above average during November to January: way above the typical El Nino records.
