'Super El Niño' continues to intensify: 'It has already reached unprecedented levels'

Bolivia's president declared a state of emergency due to severe drought linked to the ongoing 'super El Niño' phenomenon. This climate event, which began in the equatorial Pacific, has intensified, causing extreme weather globally, including wildfires in Indonesia and hurricanes in Mexico. Climatologist Lauriane Batté noted that this El Niño has reached unprecedented levels since the late 20th century. The phenomenon disrupts temperature and precipitation patterns, particularly affecting regions near the equatorial Pacific, leading to significant environmental and health impacts.
