🌎 NOAA has officially declared the onset of El Niño El Niño is the warm phase of ENSO, during which surface waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific become warmer than usual. As the distribution of warm water in the Pacific shifts, atmospheric circulation also changes, including the position of the jet stream and storm tracks. This can influence temperatures and rainfall thousands of kilometres away. Current seasonal forecasts suggest that El Niño will continue to strengthen through the rest of the year. According to NOAA, there is a 60% chance that sea surface temperature anomalies in the central and eastern tropical Pacific will exceed 2 °C by the end of the year. This episode could therefore become very strong and rank among the strongest events on record. Typical impacts of El Niño: • globally: an increase in the planet’s average temperature • more rainfall: western and southern South America, parts of East Africa, and the southern United States • drier conditions: northern and eastern Australia, Indonesia, parts of Southeast Asia, southern Africa, and parts of Central America • South Asia: the southwest monsoon is often weaker • tropical cyclones: less favourable conditions in the Atlantic, a more active eastern and central Pacific, and typhoon formation in the western North Pacific often shifting farther east

🌪️ Category 5 Typhoon RAGASA-25 (Nando), the strongest storm in the world this year, showed its perfect eye as it passed over Calayan Island. 👉 Winds peaked at 269 km/h (165+ mph) after rapid intensification, unleashing torrential rain and destructive gusts across northern Luzon. ⚠️ Nearly 10 million people are within reach of hurricane-force winds, with thousands already evacuated in the Philippines. Storm surge warnings up to 3 meters remain in place, while Hong Kong, Taiwan & southern China prepare for impact. Even without direct landfall, outer bands are bringing flooding, landslides & life-threatening conditions. A reminder of how fast today’s warming oceans can supercharge storms. 🌏 Follow its path on the Hurricane Tracker on 🌀 #Typhoon #HurricaneSeason25 #Ragasa

🇲🇽 Mexico's drought, heatwave, and water shortages have become so severe that even police officers protested by blocking traffic on Wednesday. 🏜 Approximately 60% of Mexico is currently facing moderate to exceptional drought conditions, as noted by CONAGUA Clima. Nearly 90% of Mexico City is experiencing severe drought, and the situation is expected to deteriorate further with the rainy season still months away. 🌡️ Prolonged periods of unusually low rainfall, extended dry spells, and high temperatures have further strained an already overburdened water system struggling to meet increasing demand.

🌡️ Unusually intense May heatwave in Europe This weekend will bring very high temperatures to southwestern, western, and partly central Europe, locally up to 15 °C above the long-term average. The reason is a persistent high-pressure system over Europe, drawing in hot air from North Africa along its western flank and acting as a so-called heat dome. Air in the center of the high sinks and warms, suppressing cloud formation and allowing more solar radiation to reach the surface. As a result, hot air accumulates near the ground and continues to intensify. Temperatures may exceed 30 °C in western and central Europe, and reach up to 38 °C in southwestern Spain. Numerous daily temperature records are expected to be broken.
