Scientists and government agencies are closely monitoring developments in the Pacific Ocean. A new El Niño could lead to sharply rising temperatures and global heat records in the coming year.
År 2025 blev det tredje varmaste året som registrerats. Det slår EU:s klimattjänst Copernicus fast i en ny rapport. För första gången har planetens medeltemperatur legat över 1,5 graders uppvärmning under tre sammanhängande år. En av platserna där det märks som mest är Antarktis.
More chaotic weather conditions are ahead. Last year, heatwaves caused the world's rivers to reach their lowest levels in 33 years, while other parts of the planet were hit by floods.
It is warmer than usual in the North Sea and the North Atlantic. It could be about one of the worst marine heat waves ever. If the temperatures stay the same, it can mean mass death for fish, algae, seaweed and mussels.
Get ready - the little guy is coming. The UN's call is about El Niño, a powerful weather phenomenon that can have devastating effects on an already warm planet.
