The World
Meteorological Organization forecasts El Niño reaching historic strength by
December 2026, with sea-surface temperatures hitting record highs and
persisting into early 2027, driving global shifts in temperature and rainfall.
In Kenya, heavy downpours already disrupted Kisumu East, prompting locals like George T. Diano to note, 'El Niño is already here... Ni mbaya,' while Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja prepares for damaged roads. Wetter conditions loom for the Greater Horn of Africa, balancing water recovery against flood risks, as authorities urge caution around flooded areas and storms.
