The World Meteorological Organization has issued a stark warning that an upcoming natural weather phenomenon—most likely an El Niño event—could trigger widespread disruptions across global economies. Experts say the warming of Pacific ocean waters can intensify storms, alter rainfall patterns, and push temperatures higher, leading to crop failures, supply chain interruptions, and heightened insurance claims. Governments and businesses are urged to prepare contingency plans, as even short‑term spikes in weather volatility can ripple through markets, affect commodity prices, and strain infrastructure worldwide.
