#Extreme Weather

Tens of thousands of Japanese families remain without power and water following Typhoon Dujuan, which claimed 11 lives. Massive rescue and recovery operations are underway.

The WMO and the UN warn: El Niño is intensifying and could become the most powerful in a thousand years. The ocean anomaly is already 2.6°C, and by November it may reach 4°C; the consequences will affect harvests, water resources, and food security.
