# A strong El Niño could drag the crisis into 2027 and intensify heatwaves, extremes of rainfall

> The World Meteorological Organization says a strong El Niño could extend climate extremes into 2027, bringing more heatwaves, storms, and rainfall extremes. Global average temperatures for January–September 2026 were about 1.47°C above the pre-industrial average, and the WMO expects further warming as El Niño strengthens.

## Why it matters

More extreme weather raises risks to crop production and supply reliability across regions, which could support agricultural prices if key growing areas are affected. The report gives no specific crop-loss estimates or feed-market supply changes.
