El Niño to halve Puno rainfall Jan-Mar 2027, threatening agriculture
La República (Peru)LO·PE·2 days ago
The UN projects a stronger-than-record El Niño, with temperature anomalies exceeding the 2.6°C peak of 2015-16, lasting until February 2027. This implies prolonged global weather disruption, potential agricultural stress, and inflationary pressure on food and energy. The forecast is based on UN modeling, but the exact magnitude and regional impacts remain uncertain.
