Peru: El Niño Enters 'Extraordinary' Phase, Extreme Rains & Flood Risk Escalating

Peru's meteorological agency Senamhi has declared the current El Niño event 'extraordinary' due to ocean temperature anomalies exceeding 4°C, comparable to the 1982-83 and 1997-98 events. This declaration signals a high risk of continuous and heavy rains, with above-normal river levels expected in Lima from December, increasing flood and landslide risk. The exact regional impact and duration remain uncertain, but authorities are emphasizing preventive measures.
