Super El Niño forecast to cause 450k+ excess deaths by Feb 2027

Climate Impact Lab projects an exceptionally strong El Niño will drive extreme heat globally, potentially causing over 450,000 additional deaths by February 2027, with Africa, India, and Pakistan most at risk. The forecast is based on climate models and historical mortality data, but actual impacts depend on the phenomenon's persistence and regional adaptation. This signals a major humanitarian and economic risk, particularly for vulnerable regions.
