The peak of the ocean-atmosphere El Niño phenomenon may occur in January 2027, Japan's National Meteorological Agency said.
Experts have estimated the probability of this continuing at least until May next year at 100%. Also, they estimate that its strength has already broken historical records for two consecutive months.
The organization, for its part, emphasized that so far no effect of the phenomenon on the Japanese climate has been observed, and they promised to continue to closely monitor its consequences.
