The US Climate Prediction Center is expected to officially declare a Super El Niño within hours. The event requires Pacific equatorial water temperatures at least 2 degrees Celsius above average for three consecutive months.
Forecasters expect it to persist through winter and end in spring 2027, when La Niña conditions are forecast to take over.
A strong El Niño raises the risk of drought in parts of Asia, Australia and southern Africa and of uneven rainfall in South America, which can tighten supplies of grains, oilseeds and feed ingredients and support prices.
