El Niño, which raises global temperatures, has officially begun, according to NOAA forecasters.
El Niño, meaning “little boy” in Spanish, was named by South American fishermen who observed warmer waters around Christmas, associating it with the birth of Jesus Christ. Consequently, the most significant impacts of this weather phenomenon may not be felt for several months.
Meteorologists warn that these winds, which typically blow from east to west, lead to extreme weather globally, including severe droughts and heavy rainfall, which may disrupt agricultural production and food security.
A professor at Washington State University pointed out that droughts and colonial policies led to devastating famines, resulting in over 50 million fatalities.
El Niño is a natural weather phenomenon that occurs in cycles, redistributing warm air and moisture across the tropical Pacific Ocean. During this event, trade winds typically blowing from east to west may slow down or reverse.
These winds normally push warm water along the Equator, but during El Niño, that warm water shifts east. El Niño typically occurs every two to seven years, starting in the summer and peaking around December or January.
NOAA’s recent calculations indicate a likely “very strong” El Niño, with Pacific surface temperatures rising by over 2 degrees Celsius. According to a climate scientist at the University of Maryland, this phenomenon can cause severe droughts in some areas and heavy rainfall in others, disrupting growing seasons in key agricultural regions globally.
Scientists are still studying how this year’s El Niño will interact with global warming and its implications for food security. A professor at Stanford’s Doerr School of Sustainability, notes that this remains an important area of research. Historically, in 1877, a strong El Niño was linked to severe droughts in Asia, Brazil, and northern Africa.
The last El Niño occurred in 2023 and 2024 and was one of the five strongest on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It contributed to the historic temperatures of 2024, making it the hottest year ever. This had devastating effects on farmers, especially in arid regions reliant on rainfall for crop irrigation.
Droughts caused by El Niño in southern Africa have worsened food insecurity and malnutrition. While local governments are taking measures like early crop planting and importing more food, farmers still face economic challenges. These strategies may ensure food supply.
This year, El Niño is expected to exacerbate the challenges farmers face worldwide, which including fertilizer shortages and price hikes since the Strait’s closure, affecting growing regions.
