El Nino broke temperature records in the Pacific. It may increase in 2027

Copernicus, the European Union's climate monitoring agency, announced that the El Nino weather event increased the sea surface temperature to 29.70 degrees in the Nino3.4 region of the Pacific Ocean in September, and this value surpassed the peak temperatures of the strong El Nino periods of 1982-1983, 1997-1998 and 2015-2016. However, the agency said it still cannot say that the current event is the strongest El Nino ever recorded. Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo assessed that we are in a new series of months with temperatures rising above 1.5 degrees, and this situation could last until 2027 due to the strong El Niño.
