Papua New Guinea is being urged to prepare for El Niño - a cyclical weather event that develops over the Pacific and brings disruptive conditions.
Scientists have been advising that the Pacific region can expect a significant El Niño event in mid-2026 from this month.
An El Niño phase typically creates more than usual rainfall in the central Pacific Islands region, but less rainfall - and more drought - in the western Pacific incuding PNG.
