A very scary and worrying report related to global climate change and changing weather patterns is coming out. ‘Super El Nino’, which is worrying meteorologists and climate researchers around the world, has now started showing its monstrous form. The latest data and scary map released by the prestigious ‘Climate Impact Lab’ has raised alarm bells for the entire world. According to the report, this dangerous weather phenomenon is likely to cause extreme heat globally within the next five months. More than three and a half lakh additional deaths It is suspected that this may happen. The most surprising and worrying thing is that our country is in the list of countries that have become the biggest victims of this terrible disaster. India Also included on top. Let us know in detail why this situation of Super El Nino has arisen and how devastating its impact is going to be on the entire world as well as India.
El Nino Heat Mortality Tracker data: Big danger looms between October 2026 and March 2027
According to the ‘El Nino Heat Mortality Tracker’ recently released by Climate Impact Lab, the coming months may prove to be extremely difficult for humanity. According to this frightening model and map, due to extreme temperatures and severe heat in the five months between October 2026 and March 2027, almost 373,000 additional people at risk of losing their lives Hovering.
Scientists say that this crisis is not limited to just a general weather change, but it is becoming a major global crisis for human health and life. What is surprising is that almost one-third of these potential total deaths are estimated to occur in just three developing countries—Nigeria, India, and Brazil—a clear indication that tropical countries will be hardest hit.
The temperature in the Pacific Ocean crossed 3.4 degrees Celsius
This catastrophic situation of Super El Nino has arisen when the system measuring the sea surface temperature has recorded an unprecedented increase. Water temperatures are below normal in the ‘Nino 3.4’ region of the east-central Pacific Ocean. 3.4 degrees Celsius i.e. more than 6 degrees Fahrenheit Has reached. This dangerous temperature was recorded during the week of October 18 to 24.
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), this seasonal phenomenon can increase the temperature more than six times faster than a normal El Nino in the coming months i.e. between November and January. This is why researchers have revised their estimates of excess heat-related deaths over the total nine-month cycle (June 2026 to March 2027). 857,400 Which is about 350,000 more than the initial estimate of scientists.
The biggest threat to India and Nigeria, know in which countries the maximum number of lives can be lost?
This model prepared by the researchers includes about 3,700 areas around the world and through this it has been estimated which country will be most devastated geographically by this outbreak of extreme heat:
-
Nigeria: The worst impact of this severe and deadly heat is expected to fall on the African country Nigeria, where during this period there will be heat related problems. over 56,000 deaths Can happen.
-
India: According to this global model, India has been named as the country with the second highest risk after Nigeria, where More than 55,200 people lost their lives There is a possibility of being in danger. This outbreak of extreme heat and heatwaves in densely populated areas of India can create a serious health emergency.
-
Indonesia: Indonesia is at third place in this list, where due to the effect of El Nino 29,300 people lost their lives The danger of leaving is looming.
-
Other countries: Apart from this, 19,500 people in Brazil and 14,700 people in Sudan are feared to lose their lives due to this extreme heat.
Looking at past impacts, El Nino has caused an estimated 484,500 additional deaths worldwide since June, evidenced by severe forest fires in Indonesia, disruption of critical monsoon rainfall patterns in India, and severe drought in Central America.
There is a strong need for policy-makers and governments to take timely action.
Highlighting the main objectives of this entire research, co-founder of Climate Impact Lab and professor of economics at the University of Chicago Michael Greenstone Said that with the help of this modern predictive capability, we can foresee where the biggest threat to human lives is looming in the coming time.
Professor Greenstone stressed that being able to accurately predict the deadly and destructive effects of extreme heat is a huge scientific step forward. Its main advantage is that this will enable governments and policy makers around the world to know in time which population is most at risk, so that they can take concrete and preventive steps in advance to save precious lives. If effective local policies are not made in time to deal with the effects of global warming and this Super El Nino, the coming months may prove to be a major challenge for humanity.
