National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology warns that the intensity of El Niño in the last quarter of 2026 will break all records

The Venezuelan National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (Inameh) warned that the intensity of El Niño in the last quarter of 2026 will surpass historical records.

El Niño is expected to reach very strong intensity in the last quarter of 2026.

The strong intensity will coincide with the dry period (November to April) and high temperatures in Venezuela.

The phenomenon will increase temperatures and decrease precipitation, affecting energy generation, water supply, food security, and fires.
