QUITO: Ecuador became the latest Latin American country to declare an emergency over the El Nino climate phenomenon on Saturday, which could be strongest on record, officials said. This year’s El Nino is already wreaking havoc in Central America, which is in the throes of a severe drought, and in Indonesia, where it is exacerbating wildfires. Scientists predict the current occurrence will reach its peak by the end of the year and cause record global heat in 2027.

El Comité Nacional ERFEN confirmó la declaratoria oficial de El Niño en Ecuador tras comprobar el calentamiento del Pacífico y otros factores.

El Gobierno de Ecuador declaró la alerta roja en todo el territorio para fortalecer las acciones de preparación ante el fenómeno El Niño.
