Ecuador's Inamhi reports September 2026 rainfall exceeded the same month during the 1997 El Niño, with 90% of accumulated rain falling in two days. The agency attributes the event to a developing El Niño, raising flood and landslide risks. The concentration of rainfall in a short window suggests heightened acute hazard potential.
