El Niño typically has a warming effect on global temperatures, with the strongest influence often felt in the year after it develops.
It typically brings wetter conditions to some regions and drought to others, though effects vary around the world.

The oceans are vital to weather forecasting and climate prediction. Here are 5 reasons:
1️⃣ Your 7-day weather forecast depends on ocean observations. Observations provide data on sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, as well as waves and sea ice. #worldoceansday

The latest WASITUS attribution study shows that the record breaking temperatures experienced on 26th May 2026 in Ireland would not have been possible without the presence of human-caused climate change.

Global atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) continued to increase in 2025, reaching their highest annual values in the satellite record. Since 2020, CO₂ concentration has risen by ~2.6 ppm/yr & CH₄ by~11.6 ppb/yr.

🌱Did you know that almost half (46.4%) of Europe’s electricity came from renewables in 2025? Wind and solar together supplied 30.5% – more than fossil fuels (27.5%) – and solar hit a record 12.5% share.
