### Summary

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) officially confirmed the existence of the El Niño, which is a warming of the Pacific near the equator that affects weather patterns across the globe. Noaa’s announcement said there’s a 63% chance that the El Niño will get so intense this late fall and early winter that it “would rank among the largest El Niño events in the historical record going back to 1950.”

The warm, deep waters of an El Niño affect weather patterns by bringing “a lot of extra heat to the surface, fueling a lot of extreme events for a lot of places around the world”, said Clark University climate scientist Abby Frazier.

She said, especially in the Pacific, “it can get dire very quickly”. [...] The drought-stricken Middle East could benefit, climate scientists said. Other places are looking at more danger. Parts of western South America – where the first El Niños were noticed decades ago – often get heavy rain and floods, along with an extra warm summer. India faces more intense heat waves, while drought, wildfires and heat threaten Australia.

North-eastern Africa is probably going to get weather whiplash from intense drought to dangerously heavy rains, said Columbia University climate scientist and El Niño expert Muhammad Azhar Ehsan.

In the US, El Niños can cause more intense storms with heavier rainfall in the South, but they also tend to generally benefit the US agriculture industry, said Jon Gottschalck, operational branch chief at Noaas Climate Prediction Center. [...] Michael Ferrari, meteorologist and head of research at the investment research firm Moby, said conditions for grains and seed, especially soybeans, look favorable in 18 major growing states, but are more mixed when it comes to dairy and cattle.

The northern Rockies and south-west – where there’s an “off the charts” snow drought – could get some strong summer rains, Gottschalck said. The biggest effect in the US is often in the winter, when the south can get wetter and the Pacific north-west warmer and drier.

# El Niño forms in Pacific as experts say it will likely turbocharge extreme weather

Meteroogists forecast it will rival – or exceed – record El Niño from 1997 and further heat globe

El Niño, Nature’s chaotic climate agent, has formed in a warmed-up Pacific Ocean and is expected to grow to historic strength, meteorologists announced Thursday.

Experts said the El Niño, a natural warming cycle, should [further heat a globe](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/09/super-el-nino-global-economy) already warming from fossil fuel pollution and will probably turbocharge extreme weather across the planet. Meteorologists forecast it will rival – or exceed – a record El Niño that began in 1997 and helped trigger billions of dollars in damage from heatwaves, floods, droughts, tornadoes and wildfires.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) officially confirmed the existence of the El Niño, which is a warming of the Pacific near the equator that affects weather patterns across the globe. Noaa’s announcement said there’s a 63% chance that the El Niño will get so intense this late fall and early winter that it “would rank among the largest El Niño events in the historical record going back to 1950.”

The warm, deep waters of an El Niño affect weather patterns by bringing “a lot of extra heat to the surface, fueling a lot of extreme events for a lot of places around the world”, said Clark University climate scientist Abby Frazier.

She said, especially in the Pacific, “it can get dire very quickly”.

The UN secretary-general, António Guterres. described El Niño as an “urgent climate warning.”

“El Niño conditions will pour fuel on the fire of a warming world,” Guterres said in a video message.

The weather pattern’s effects vary by region. El Niño often dampens – but doesn’t eliminate – Atlantic hurricane season activity, but increases it in the Pacific. So while the US east and Gulf coasts may get a break, Hawaii and other islands are more in danger, Frazier said.

The drought-stricken Middle East could benefit, climate scientists said. Other places are looking at more danger. Parts of western South America – where the first El Niños were noticed decades ago – often get heavy rain and floods, along with an extra warm summer. India faces more intense heat waves, while drought, wildfires and heat threaten Australia.

The northern Rockies and south-west – where there’s an “off the charts” snow drought – could get some strong summer rains, Gottschalck said. The biggest effect in the US is often in the winter, when the south can get wetter and the Pacific north-west warmer and drier.

But overall, temperatures raised by the weather pattern can dampen American economic growth, said Stanford climate economist Marshall Burke. Several climate scientists forecast that 2027 will be the hottest year on record because of lagging effects of this El Niño, which is expected to peak in the fall or winter.

“We have pretty clear evidence that the US economy grows more slowly when temps are above normal,” Burke said.

The weather extremes caused by an El Niño also depend on when it develops.

Usually El Niños form in the summer, peak in the late fall or early winter, and peter out the next spring, scientists said.

However, Ehsan’s team forecasts that this El Niño will peak a month or two earlier based on strong early signs from recent weeks. Princeton University climate scientist Gabriel Vecchi said large El Niños like these also tend to last longer.

The early indications – including warmer water pushing toward the surface of the Pacific – have been so strong and noticeable that forecasters have all been predicting the same ultra strong El Niño, Vecchi said, adding that El Niño forecasts often are all over

# ‘Woefully unprepared’: extreme heat will double US hospitalizations by 2040, study finds

Sharp rise in hospital visits will in turn drive up annual healthcare costs for heat-related conditions to over $1bn

People in the US are poised to endure another summer of unusually ferocious heat and there will be little respite in the years ahead, with a new study finding that the coming 15 years could see a doubling in hospitalizations due to heat-related illnesses.

The number of annual heat-related emergency department visits or hospitalizations across the US are set to rise from about 109,000 cases a year to as many as 237,000 cases by 2040, the new research has estimated.

This, in turn, will almost double annual healthcare costs for heat-related conditions to more than $1bn, the new paper, published in the American Geophysical Union journal GeoHealth*,* found*.*

Severe heat [kills more people](https://www.apha.org/publications/public-health-newswire/public-health-newswire/articles/extreme-heat-kills-more-people-than-any-other-extreme-weather-event) in the US each year than all other extreme weather events combined, with deaths surging by more than [50%](https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/warming-us-climate-linked-to-rising-deaths-from-heat/) over the past two decades.

Illnesses and deaths are most likely among poorer people who are unable to afford to run air conditioning, work outside for prolonged hours, live in houses badly designed for high temperatures or have exacerbating health conditions.

Already this year, the US has experienced its hottest ever March on record, with this summer expected to have above-average temperatures and potentially widespread [wildfires](https://insideclimatenews.org/news/31052026/experts-warn-of-upcoming-wildfire-season/), part of a longer-term trend of rising heat caused by the climate crisis.

A string of punishingly hot summers, particularly in places not used to such conditions, is likely to heap new challenges upon public health systems, the researchers warned.

“There is this staggering cost to society we are going to see over the next 15 years,” said Vivek Shandas, a professor at Portland State University and study co-author. “It’s not that we will see this plateau of heat-related illnesses and we will get acclimated to it – there is going to be this sustained increase.

“Heat is an amplifying event and so if you are already struggling with a pre-existing condition, there’s a good chance it will lead to some sort illness like heatstroke or even death.”

The new research looked at 53 of the US’s largest metropolitan areas and projected heat-related illnesses from now until 2040 under a range of different scenarios for levels of planet-heating emissions, caused by the burning off fossil fuels.

Shandas and his co-author, Stephan Brown of CAPA Strategies, found that the impact of hospitalizations will not fall evenly, with the California and Las Vegas areas set to experience the greatest total number of heat-related health problems. Areas not used to extreme heat, such as the north-east and Ohio valley, are expected to suffer the most severe health consequences from each major heat event.

Problems are most likely to be felt by elderly people and those with existing health conditions, but economic and government policy factors will also play a role. Donald Trump’s administration has [slashed](https://www.eenews.net/articles/deadly-heat-is-coming-but-funding-to-save-lives-is-not/) programs aimed at helping cities deal with extreme heat, while his presidency has also overseen [soaring energy costs for Americans](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/17/trump-promise-energy-bills-costs).

The average US household is expected to spend nearly $800 on electricity this summer, up more than 10% from last year, according to a report released last week by the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA) and the Center for Energy Poverty and Climate. The report authors warned this is creating an affordability crisis that will deter many people from cooling their homes.

“When temperatures break records, utility bills often do too,” said Mark Wolfe, executive director of NEADA. “For families already struggling to make ends meet, higher cooling costs can force difficult choices between paying utility bills and covering other necessities such as food, rent, or medicine.”

All of these factors mean that extreme heat is likel

Syrians were granted TPS in 2024 on the basis, among other things, of falling wheat production and “drought-like conditions” that have plagued the country in recent years. Ethiopia has been hit by severe drought and flooding, displacing more than 4 million people, the country’s TPS status from the same year concluded, while about 350,000 Haitians in the US would risk returning to one of the countries “most affected by extreme weather events”, according to a 2023 determination granting a TPS extension.

# Trump targeting immigrants from countries hit most by climate shocks

A Guardian analysis reveals how most of 39 countries facing US entry restrictions are most vulnerable environmentally

* [‘Every day it’s more barriers’: how the US is shutting out climate refugees](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/10/climate-change-crisis-refugees)

[Donald Trump](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/donaldtrump)’s immigration crackdown is largely targeting people from the countries most vulnerable to displacement from climate-driven disasters, a Guardian analysis shows.

As the [Trump administration](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/trump-administration) pushes policies to boost planet-heating [fossil fuels](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/fossil-fuels), millions of people are being forced to flee their homelands due to storms, floods and droughts worsened by the [climate crisis](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-crisis).

Of the 39 countries from which the Trump administration has [fully or partly restricted entry to the US](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/suspension-of-visa-issuance-to-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-security-of-the-united-states.html), 22 are ranked within the most vulnerable quarter of nations in the world to climate impacts, according to a Guardian analysis of [data](https://gain.nd.edu/our-work/country-index/rankings/) from the Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative, which assesses how prone jurisdictions are to the climate crisis.

*“*Nearly all of the most vulnerable countries are on a ban or visa pause,” said Danielle Wood, an associate professor at Notre Dame. Immigrants from Chad and Niger, the two most climate-vulnerable countries in the world according to the index, are now fully barred from the US, as are people from Sudan, Somalia and [Sierra Leone](https://www.theguardian.com/world/sierraleone), also among the 10 countries most exposed to climate impacts.

Among the most vulnerable half of countries is [Honduras](https://www.theguardian.com/world/honduras), which has seen stronger rainstorms, droughts, floods and coastal erosion in recent years. When Hurricane Mitch crashed into the country, killing 7,000 people, one affected family surveyed the unsalvageable ruins of their home and realized they had a lifeline – to move to the US.

Evelyn, who did not want to share her full name, was a teenager when Mitch hit in 1998 and recalls how her relatives in New York City pleaded with her mother to bring her and her sister to the US.

“There were bodies and dead animals floating in the water, the house was messed up, the furniture was all gone – doors, windows gone. It was so, so sad,” said Evelyn. “I got sick because of the mosquitoes too. My uncle and aunt were just like: ‘OK, just bring the kids over here, don’t stay. It’s dangerous.’”

Storms of the deadly ferocity of Mitch are [even more likely](https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/04/global-warming-is-making-the-strongest-hurricanes-stronger/) today because our atmosphere and oceans have rapidly heated up due to the burning of fossil fuels.

Yet Trump’s curbing of immigration and asylum has made it far harder for people like Evelyn to flee to the US.“Every day it’s more barriers,” said Evelyn, who still lives in New York and has two daughters, both studying at university. “It’s sad to know that people will not be able to apply for a status or something to help their situation and also help the people back home.”

The administration has also sought to terminate the [temporary protected status](https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status) (TPS) of people from Honduras and 12 othercountries who already reside in the US, with nearly half of these countries ranked by Notre Dame as among the most climate-vulnerable places in the world.

The US supreme court is now [considering an appeal to the TPS revocation](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/29/us-supreme-court-haitians-syrians-tps) for people hailing from two of the affected countries: Syria and Haiti, which have suffered recent droughts and hurricanes, respectively, as well as violent unrest. Environmental perils in these and other countries have been cited by the federal government when granting TPS status to allow people to remain in the US.

But the current administration’s sweeping bans on entry to the US will “keep the radical Islamic terrorists out of our country”
