Europe and South America are facing the threat of drought and extreme heat due to the combined effects of El Niño and climate change. Spain's village of Pozoblanco is already struggling with a long-running drought, providing a glimpse of what may lie ahead for other parts of Europe. Argentina's drought-hit agricultural areas have recently received some relief with a bout of rain. The upcoming summer season in South America is expected to be even hotter and drier due to climate change, the arrival of the first El Niño in almost four years, and mass deforestation. The United States is also bracing for a warm and wet winter as a strong El Niño is forecasted. Bali, Indonesia is experiencing prolonged and extreme dry weather caused by El Niño, leading to dry dams and rice paddies. Furthermore, climate change is lengthening malaria transmission seasons in vulnerable regions. These events highlight the urgent need for global action to address the impacts of climate change and mitigate the effects of El Niño.
