What Could the ‘Super’ El Niño Bring to Russia?
The current super El Niño is on track to become the strongest on record.
The current El Niño has reached super-strength levels, with temperatures soaring to 2.7°C above average and forecasted to peak at 4°C between November and December. While El Niño typically brings drought, increased wildfire risk, and heavy rainfall to Southeast Asia, Australia, and South and North America, its direct impact on Russia is minimal due to its distance from the tropical Pacific.
However, Russia may face indirect consequences, such as rising global food and energy prices, as other countries grapple with the effects of a super El Niño.
