Yaku-like cyclone threat: El Niño may bring new storm to Peru

Peru faces renewed cyclone risk as El Niño conditions are forecast to generate a new Yaku-like meteorological event, which previously caused persistent rains and activated ravines and rivers. The estimated timing remains uncertain, but the recurrence of such a system would heighten flood and landslide hazards in coastal regions. This matters for disaster preparedness and infrastructure resilience in Peru.
