2027 to be the hottest year on Earth; India to see less rainfall, report says

 

 

When global temperatures broke all-time records in 2024, scientists predicted that 2026 would be the hottest year on record due to the powerful El Nino phenomenon forming in the Pacific Ocean.

But nature's calculations are different. According to new observations, 2026 is likely to end as the second hottest year on record. At the same time, scientists are warning that 2027 will also become the hottest year in the 175-year history of modern weather observation.

This major change is due to one of the strongest El Nino phenomena ever recorded, which forms in the depths of the tropical Pacific Ocean.
