WMO warns El Niño may exceed monitoring scales, unprecedented intensity

The WMO warns the ongoing El Niño will intensify and may exceed the monitoring scales used for four decades, signaling a potentially unprecedented event. The claim is based on WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo's statement, but specific metrics and impacts remain unspecified. This matters because an extreme El Niño could drive severe weather disruptions, affecting agriculture, infrastructure, and global markets.
