El Niño Returns: Drought, Floods, Heat on the Way

Forecasters warn that a powerful El Niño weather pattern is developing this year. This natural climate cycle can bring extreme conditions, including drought in some regions, flooding in others, and dangerous heat waves. Experts say the event could disrupt agriculture, water supplies, and public safety. The key question is whether communities can prepare in time for the worst impacts. Governments and emergency agencies are now reviewing plans to manage both water shortages and potential flood damage.
