Peru braces for 'Meganiño' as coastal El Niño intensifies, threatening floods and economic disruption

Peru's coastal El Niño, already causing unusual heat, heavy rains, and shifts in marine species, is expected to intensify into a 'Meganiño' within two months, potentially the worst in republican history. The claim is based on expert projections, but the severity and timing remain uncertain. This poses significant risks to Peru's economy, particularly fishing and infrastructure, and could trigger humanitarian crises.
