El Niño-induced climate hazards pose high risks to #FoodSecurity.

By disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns, #ElNiño can strongly impact agriculture and rural livelihoods.

@FAO is working to mitigate its effects on vulnerable communities 👉 https://t.co/ffLT8grzCQ

The WMO #StateOfClimate in Asia 2025 report launches on 17 June at the 10th @ABU_HQ Media Summit on Climate Action & Disaster Prevention.

Experts will present the latest findings on climate indicators, extreme events & their impacts in Asia.

IMD Weather Warning !

Southwest monsoon is likely to set in over Kerala around 4th June, 2026.
Isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall (7-20cm) very likely over Kerala and isolated heavy rainfall over Tamil Nadu and Karnataka during next 6-7days.

Disaster risk can be sudden or everyday.

⚡ Intensive risk: High-impact, lower-frequency events cause sudden, catastrophic losses.

🌧️ Extensive risk: Frequent, lower-impact (eg. floods, storms, droughts) – impacts accumulate.

Both must be reduced➡️ https://t.co/9L0rm7zwhS

An El Niño will likely arrive later in the year, according to sea level data from Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich. The satellite—which measures the height of the entire ocean every 10 days—captured a swell of warm water hundreds of miles wide in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America.

[UNDRR @UNDRR]

Disaster and climate risks are interconnected. The systems designed to manage them need to reflect that. 🕸️

Coherence across governance, financing, and implementation provides resilience across the spectrum.

2026 and 1997 are El Niño twins. But they didn't always look alike.

Subsurface ocean warmth developed faster in 1997, but 2026 caught up following a record-breaking Kelvin wave that formed in April.

A new westerly wind burst into June will keep these two years neck and neck.

[NWS Climate Prediction Center @NWSCPC]

El Niño is likely to emerge soon (82% chance in May-July 2026) and continue through Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27 (96% chance in December 2026 – February 2027). An #ElNino Watch remains in effect. #ENSO https://t.co/5zlzaZ0D9Z

[Ben Noll @BenNollWeather]

The notorious super El Niño of 1877-78 contributed to a global famine that wiped out 3 to 4 percent of the global population.

It was arguably the worst environmental disaster to ever befall humanity.

Are we better prepared now? The evidence says yes 🧵

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

An El Niño event is expected from mid-2026, impacting global temperature & rainfall patterns, according to WMO's global seasonal climate update. Models indicate that this may be a strong one!

Should #poverty be measured using income or consumption data? What about household economies of scale?

By making methodological choices visible and comparable, our PIP Innovation Hub strengthens the evidence base for poverty analysis.

🔴 90% of climate-related deaths occur in poorer countries.

Disasters deepen vulnerability, locking people into poverty.

We can #BreakTheCycle of poverty and disasters by investing in reducing risk and building resilience.

Early warnings only work when they are received, understood and acted upon.

That’s why early warning systems needs to be:
🔺Multi-hazard
⛓️End-to-end
🤝People-centred
