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

6 days to go.

Every season, communities across the Greater Horn of Africa wait for forecasts and decisions that can determine livelihoods and resilience.

At #GHACOF73 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, a new chapter begins. The Regional Triggers and Thresholds Anticipatory Action (AA) System aims to strengthen AA by helping transform climate forecasts into timely, coordinated early action.

A shift from reacting to crises — to acting ahead of them.

New ECMWF data shows near a 100 percent chance of a super El Niño by October.

The central equatorial Pacific is forecast to surge 2.7˚C above average by then — approaching record levels — and this major climate event will still be intensifying 🧵

[Dr. Abdulla Al Mandous @DrAAlMandous]

.@WMO's State of the Global Climate 2025 report is clear: our climate system is under unprecedented pressure.

📌 2025 was among the three warmest years on record
📌 CO₂ reached 423.9 ppm — the highest in 2 million years
📌 Ocean heat, sea level rise, and glacier loss all hit alarming levels

The science leaves no room for ambiguity. The window for action is narrowing, but it is still open.

I share my full reflections on what this report means and what it demands of us here: https://t.co/KP6aiFvURb
