Venezuela’s national meteorological institute, Inameh, has activated environmental monitoring following confirmation of the onset of the El Niño weather phenomenon. This decision is based on reports from both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Current projections indicate a 63% probability that this El Niño event will reach historical intensity levels between late 2026 and early 2027. Inameh is increasing vigilance to prepare for potential impacts related to altered weather patterns. The agency will be closely monitoring developments and providing updates as the event progresses. This proactive measure aims to mitigate potential risks associated with a particularly strong El Niño. Further details will be released as the situation evolves.
