Super El Niño alarms the world, frightening forecast for temperatures in 2027

A climate phenomenon of unusual magnitude, known as a "Super El Niño," has raised concerns about severe public health consequences worldwide. Scientists warn that by February 2027, extreme temperatures could cause hundreds of thousands of deaths.

According to a report by the Climate Impact Lab, the phenomenon could cause up to 451,000 additional deaths from extreme heat during the period June 2026 – February 2027. This figure refers to victims beyond the usual number of deaths related to high temperatures.

Concerns have also increased after epidemiologists warned that the potential impact of El Niño could be a health crisis of pandemic proportions. Researchers have called for the World Health Organization to treat the phenomenon as an international public health emergency.

El Niño is a natural climate phenomenon associated with the unusual warming of the waters of the Pacific Ocean and affecting weather patterns across the planet. In this case, its intensity is expected to be particularly high, while climate change could amplify the consequences.

According to forecasts, the number of days with extreme temperatures could increase by 44% compared to normal years. In addition to the heat, the phenomenon could bring droughts, floods, massive fires and problems with food supplies.

Countries in the Global South are expected to face the most severe impacts. Nigeria is among the countries most at risk, with an estimated 31,400 additional deaths predicted from high temperatures. Indonesia, Sudan, India and Brazil are also at significant risk.

The World Meteorological Organization has warned that El Niño will strengthen in the coming months and could continue until February 2027. However, the researchers emphasize that the figure of 451,000 victims is a scientific projection and not a sure prediction. They call for preventive measures, including heat wave warning systems, cooling centers and strengthening health services.
