💨 Abstract

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns that a strong El Niño could intensify global heat and extreme weather into 2027. Southern Africa is expected to face warmer-than-normal conditions between November 2026 and January 2027, raising concerns about water resources, agriculture, and vulnerable communities. The WMO's report highlights record-breaking temperatures, melting ice, and rising sea levels, with global average surface temperatures reaching approximately 1.47°C
