What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

NOAA revised the probability that the 2026 El Niño will break records since 1950 to 75%. This severe climate event poses risks to both Colombia and Peru. For Colombia, Bank of America projects an additional 1.8 percentage points of worst-case inflation under a severe El Niño. Peru's multi-agency climate panel ENFEN assigns a 62% probability to an "extraordinary" Niño Costero hitting its northern and central coastline between September 2026 and January 2027.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The increased severity of the El Niño raises economic risks across the region. For Colombia, the coffee federation now states that El Niño, rather than a previous earthquake, is the primary threat to the harvest. The climate event could drive up inflation and operational risks in both countries.
