El Niño: What It Means and How Nigerians Should Prepare

El Niño, which warms waters in the tropical Pacific, is expected to strengthen and persist into early 2027, according to the World Meteorological Organization. NiMet forecasts varying rainfall effects across Nigeria: from August to October 2026, rainfall was expected to be normal to above normal across much of the north, while parts of the South-West and Cross River State could see normal to below-normal rainfall. The Climate Impact Lab estimates that heat could cause 31,400 additional deaths between September 2026 and February 2027; this is a model-based projection, not a confirmed death toll. Authorities are urged to strengthen heat warnings and health preparedness, while residents are advised to stay hydrated, seek shade and check on vulnerable people.
