Today, the China Meteorological Administration held a press conference. At the conference, the head of the National Climate Center explained that the latest monitoring shows that El Niño conditions will continue to strengthen from June to July 2026. The sea temperature index in the Niño 3.4 zone reached 1.60℃ in June, up 0.64℃ from May, and the second climate index remained stable above 2.0℃ in July. It is expected that sea surface temperatures in the equator Middle East and Pacific will continue to rise. An eastern-type strong to super-strong El Niño event will occur in summer and autumn. The probability of a super-strong event will increase, peak in autumn and winter, and the gradual decline will end in the spring and summer of 2027. This incident is developing rapidly, is intense, and requires great attention. In the context of the strong to extreme El Niño incident, there will be more torrential rain, high temperatures, and typhoons in our country in August: the eastern region will have heavier floods than droughts, and flood conditions will be heavy in the Songliao, Haihe, and Pearl River basins; there will be too many days of high temperatures in the country, and there is a risk of continued drought in the northwest region; precipitation will generally be high in eastern and southwest China in the fall, with temperatures in the north and south China being significantly higher. It is recommended to continue to monitor the development trend of El Niño, continuously improve its ability to prevent extreme meteorological disasters, and deal with the risk of typhoons and the north-south rainy belt in the subregion. The North is strengthening anti-moth control in the Songliao and Haihe River basins, and the South is preventing repeated disasters and secondary disasters in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Pearl River basins. Coastal regions need to continue to take measures to prevent typhoons; pay close attention to the complex risks of high temperatures and droughts, and respond early.
