The World Meteorological Organization has warned that a rapidly strengthening El Niño could lead to 'off the charts' weather patterns, potentially disrupting India's monsoon cycle.
While overall rainfall may decrease, experts predict a higher frequency of extreme, heavy downpours, posing significant risks to agricultural stability and flood management.
Global climate agencies are urging nations to prepare for the strongest El Niño in decades, which is expected to intensify further through the remainder of 2026.
