What happened
A record-breaking El Niño is causing extreme weather globally, including droughts and weak monsoons across Asia and South America. Researchers project that global temperatures will be 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in the coming months, potentially leading to over 450,000 excess deaths worldwide. The country most likely to suffer the most excess heat-related fatalities is Nigeria, followed by Indonesia and Sudan.
Why it matters
The extreme weather is threatening food security for millions of people, with experts warning that drought in Asia could potentially raise food prices globally. The climate pattern is also projected to cause trillions in global economic losses.
El Niño could spark extreme weather globally, with specific mention of England.
