El Niño sets Pacific temperature record in September, EU monitor reports

The EU's climate monitor reports that an intensifying El Niño broke a temperature record in a key Pacific zone in September, signaling a potentially stronger event than previously modeled. The record suggests accelerated warming in the region, which could amplify global temperature anomalies and extreme weather patterns in coming months. The full extent of the event's impact remains uncertain, but it raises the likelihood of climate-related disruptions.
