El Niño viene fuerte en América Latina y estas son las historias que puedes investigar

The document outlines the expected impacts of El Niño across Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting risks such as water shortages in Colombia, agricultural losses in Mexico and Central America, and fisheries disruptions in the South Pacific. It emphasizes that while El Niño is a natural phenomenon, climate change intensifies its effects, leading to more frequent extreme weather events. The guide also lists specific resources, expert contacts, and training programs for journalists covering these issues.

• The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) predicts that El Niño will influence global weather patterns from August to October, likely causing above-normal temperatures and altered rainfall patterns through the first quarter of 2027.
• Regional impacts of El Niño vary: Mexico and Central America face droughts, heatwaves, and threats to hydroelectric generation; the Caribbean and coastal regions face coral bleaching and sargassum increases; the Andean region may see reduced livestock and crop production (potato, quinoa, and corn); and the South American Pacific coast (Ecuador, Chile, Peru) faces shifts in commercial species like anchoveta and red tides.
• In the Southern Cone (Argentina, southern Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil), El Niño is associated with torrential rains that can cause flooding and infrastructure damage.
• Climate change exacerbates the natural fluctuations of El Niño because oceans have absorbed excess heat from a warming atmosphere, following a period from 2023-2025 where oceans broke historical heat records.
