This El Niño comes on the top of an already heating planet. In cities already struggling with heat, its effects can reach inside homes, workplaces, schools and hospitals.
But cities can prepare. Read on 👉 bit.ly/3WgzGaP

#Bangkok’s 50 districts declared #DisasterZones. #MinBuri, Khlong #SamWa worst-hit. Northern runoff overwhelmed #PrawetBurirom canal causing knee-high flooding across #OnNut. TMD warns heavy downpours thru Sept 27 raising #flashflood risks. This low basin always bears the brunt!
Bangkok Declares All 50 Districts Disaster Zones After Record Rainfall
Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has declared all 50 districts disaster-affected areas after nearly 48 hours of continuous rain caused widespread flooding and traffic disruption.
Around 30 million cubic metres of water accumulated across the capital, with rainfall reaching 274.5 mm in Min Buri and 273 mm in Khlong Sam Wa. Additional water also flowed into Bangkok from Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani.
Authorities are operating pumps at a combined capacity of 1,200 cubic metres per second and distributing one million sandbags. Unaffected Bangkok schools are being opened as temporary shelters, while assistance is being prioritized for vulnerable residents, including bedridden patients.
Officials said water levels in major canals were beginning to stabilize and could improve within six hours if no further rain falls. Residents have been advised to stay home and avoid flooded roads, particularly in Ramkhamhaeng, New Phetchaburi, Ekkamai, Sena Nikhom 1, King Kaeo, and Lat Krabang.

⚠️ When we know El Niño is coming, why wait for its impacts?
⏱️ Translating forecasts into early warnings creates opportunities for #AnticipatoryAction, helping protect vulnerable communities and avert humanitarian crises before impacts escalate.

El Niño is strengthening, with a greater than 90% chance of a very strong event during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter 2026-27. An #ElNino Advisory remains in effect. #ENSO cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/a…

El Niño continues to intensify during the August-October 2026 season. Above-normal temperatures are likely across the world. Wetter conditions in some regions and drought risk in others are expected, consistent with a classic, strong El Niño event.

Extreme weather is becoming more frequent—but the risks aren't shared equally.
Nearly 1 in 5 people globally are at high risk from climate hazards. The World Bank Group Scorecard Vision indicator pinpoints who they are and what support can help build resilience.

🆕 WMO confirms: El Niño conditions are developing and are set to influence global temperature and rainfall patterns around the world in the months ahead. Most forecast models suggest it will be at least moderate – possibly strong.

🌡️ Heatwaves interact with and amplify other hazards. Their impacts extend far beyond the heat itself — making a multi-hazard approach to risk management essential.

A new #ElNiño phase is likely to begin within weeks, putting agriculture on alert around the world.
New @FAO analyses allow for detailed mapping of where El Nino-linked drought is most likely to impact crops and pasturelands.

El Niño-induced climate hazards pose high risks to #FoodSecurity.
By disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns, #ElNiño can strongly impact agriculture and rural livelihoods.

IMD Weather Warning !
Southwest monsoon is likely to set in over Kerala around 4th June, 2026.
Isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall (7-20cm) very likely over Kerala and isolated heavy rainfall over Tamil Nadu and Karnataka during next 6-7days.

Disaster risk can be sudden or everyday.
⚡ Intensive risk: High-impact, lower-frequency events cause sudden, catastrophic losses.
🌧️ Extensive risk: Frequent, lower-impact (eg. floods, storms, droughts) – impacts accumulate.
Both must be reduced➡️ ow.ly/77lF50Y5jPC

An El Niño will likely arrive later in the year, according to sea level data from Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich. The satellite—which measures the height of the entire ocean every 10 days—captured a swell of warm water hundreds of miles wide in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America.

Disaster and climate risks are interconnected. The systems designed to manage them need to reflect that. 🕸️
Coherence across governance, financing, and implementation provides resilience across the spectrum.

2026 and 1997 are El Niño twins. But they didn't always look alike.
Subsurface ocean warmth developed faster in 1997, but 2026 caught up following a record-breaking Kelvin wave that formed in April.
A new westerly wind burst into June will keep these two years neck and neck.
