El Niño endangers children regionwide
5m
UNICEF warned that El Niño could expose 25.8 million children and adolescents in Latin America to growing risks from drought and heavy rainfall.

This event is underestimated by any index focusing on the NINO3.4 region alone compared to other large events, because it is much more east-based. You can see this by looking at things like the ELI or subsurface heat in combination with RONI or RONI plus the other NINO regions, relativized or not.

As #ElNiño intensifies drought in some regions, farmers in water-scarce areas are under even greater pressure.
Around the world, traditional knowledge, science & #AgInnovation are helping farmers adapt & keep producing food when every drop counts.

Some inland grains cropping regions are looking fantastic in Australia right now (eg Mallee in Vic, the result of Feb/Mar rain/soil moisture and occasional top ups), but big high pressure systems bring big frost risk at a critical phase in crop growth

As El Niño strengthens across the Pacific, Australian farmers could face fierce frosts
Papua New Guinea’s frost disaster suggests heat and drought aren’t the only symptoms of a changing climate.

💡 Lesson: Match the scale of the climate information to your decision's scale.
❓ Don't just ask: “What does El Niño mean?”
🎯 Ask: “What does El Niño tell us at the scale and location relevant to the decision we're making, and what additional information do we need?”

As the climate warms, compound drought and heat wave events are becoming more frequent and intense across the contiguous United States. Areas at high risk for such events are disproportionately poor, unhealthy, and rural. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/nqfA50ZSNx3
