Cómo cubrir los impactos de un súper El Niño en tu región

The document explains the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and warns that a particularly strong El Niño is forecast, which may lead to record global temperatures. It details the diverse impacts of the 2023-2024 event in Latin America, including crop failures in Mexico and Central America, droughts in northern Brazil, and energy crises in Costa Rica. It provides a list of technical resources and experts for further reporting.

• The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) consists of two phases: El Niño, where equatorial Pacific waters warm, and La Niña, where they cool, both of which alter global weather patterns such as rainfall, heat, and hurricane activity.
• International meteorological agencies predict an especially strong El Niño this year, which is expected to push global temperatures to record levels this year and potentially the next.
• The 2023 El Niño, combined with human-induced climate change, contributed to the hottest year on record since 1850, nearly exceeding the 1.5 °C pre-industrial threshold.
• During 2023-2024, El Niño caused varied regional impacts in Latin America: maize and bean harvest reductions in Mexico and the Dry Corridor (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador); historic drought in northern Brazil and catastrophic floods in southern Brazil; heat records and glacier retreat in Bolivia and Peru; and an energy crisis in Costa Rica.
• The 2023-2024 El Niño event affected global trade because Panama had to restrict the transit of large vessels through the Canal due to reduced water levels.
