Bangladesh could see lower Boro rice production in the coming season as climatologists warn of an exceptionally strong El Niño, which typically brings hotter and drier conditions during the crop’s growing period.

A very strong El Niño can significantly shift rainfall and temperature patterns worldwide, and fuel extreme weather, like typhoons.

Recent warnings from WMO and FAO suggest that the challenge may extend beyond drought

World Meteorological Organization said El Nino had already set in, and would quickly gain strength, as it warned countries to brace for impact

Earlier this month, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirmed that El Niño has an 80 percent chance of forming before September, with the potential to rival the strongest ever recorded.

Experts expect few heatwaves over next three months, say no reason for panic 

As we have been told by weather forecasters, there is a strong possibility of a “super” El Niño, possibly the most powerful in recorded history, coming to take hold across the world in the coming months.

In light of this particularly hot summer, let's take some time to understand an important weather system that affects global temperatures, food security, and economies

Take urgent stock of the impact of El Nino on our agriculture

Across the world, in the Pacific Ocean, we are seeing the beginning of a new El Nino year, which means that we have to expect significantly higher temperatures globally – not just for one year, but for several years to come.

Last week, the world witnessed the hottest day in modern history, with the global temperature average rising to a record 17.23 degrees Celsius.

Although exceptional, the warm January temperatures are a stark reminder that, despite all the rhetoric about pivoting to green sources of energy like solar and wind, climate change is taking a turn for the worse because global GHG emissions are not showing any signs of a downward trend.

This year's monstrous El Nino, nicknamed Godzilla by NASA, is dead.

El Niño and ongoing climate change have both contributed to the devastating Alberta wildfires according to experts.

Recession-wracked Venezuela is to ration electricity in 10 of its most populous and industrialized states, including metropolitan Caracas, the socialist government says.

Evidence that Australia's Great Barrier Reef is experiencing its worst coral bleaching on record has renewed calls for the UN to list it as "in-danger".

Last year wasn't just the Earth's hottest year on record — it left a century of high temperature marks in the dust.

Last year was the second hottest on record in the contiguous United States, and included 10 major weather and climate events, such as droughts and storms, that each led to over $1 billion in damages, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Thursday.

Temperatures at the North Pole rises above freezing point, 20 degrees Celsius above the mid-winter norm and the latest abnormality in a season of extreme weather events.

The US space agency Nasa has warned that the effects of the current El Nino weather phenomenon could be as bad as those of 1998, the strongest on record.
