What's your country's preparation for the coming super El Niño

[gracreavix]

In some countries that already have heat, they don't care about this. For me, this is a waste of time. Just imagine for a third world country and you think they would care even if some there wide spread disease. How do you want them to eat? This is just news for the rich who can afford not to be under the sun. And another thing that this has benefit. If you are have a  house that is off grid, or just an apartment that uses solar. There is big advantage in that. I advice people to use solar panel. Countries that suffer for light issues get to have steady light if they have solar panels.

Spending money organising forums and no doubt will send out aid to farmers come elections. There is no preparation. Every disaster is an opportunity for a money/power grab.

Live long Southeast Asia...

Are you sure the government of most countries care? They are only care about themselves or if something bad has already happened.

Not all governments are like that. I read the news, and there are countries that provide assistance to their citizens; unfortunately, our government is not like that. If the government is good and they will look and care for their people if its corrupt they will ignore their people

It is better you prepare yourself and not wait on one government to do anything.

Buy enough food and stay safe. Have extra money if flooding is common in your area.

You are paying taxes so your government should have contingency measures when hard times are coming.

Nothing serious yet here because as it is getting hot, it is later raining and everywhere cool again.

We will feel the effects in the first month of the coming year, so we have to brace ourselves.

My country was mentioned twice; it is worth noting that we have also experienced severe forest fires in several conservation areas, which have clearly contributed to rising temperatures amidst a super El Nino cycle.

However, it now appears that the super El Nino may be coming to an end. In fact, it has started to rain in my area over the last few days.

Their preparation is zero.. my country's government is still busy dealing with their free meal programs and a lot of their campaign programs, and trying to win the next campaign.. but when it comes to natural disasters, they don't care..

Mine is fully focused on the January 17th presidential election. I bet they haven't even heard about the super El Nino. We didn't hear anything from our minister of Health, or any news outlets. I am even sure 60% of Nigerian citizens don't even have an idea of the heat pandemic, reason is because around this time of the year, our weather gets hotter so maybe that's why they can't tell if the El Nino is happening already. We are in the dry season already and by next month harmattan will also start. So we are already used to hot weather around this period and Nigeria dry/hot season usually stretch from October to March. The important thing is for people to always find a place to cool themselves and rest and also avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. PS: Always hydrate 💧

What's your country's preparation for the coming super El Niño

Talking about the El Niño phenomenon, currently our government has taken various actions and several appropriate steps to deal with a very strong El Niño, These steps are carried out by my orders, such as preventing forest fires, maintaining food security, as well as providing clean water and so on.

Not only that, our government has also prepared steps regarding preparedness in the health sector, including other medical facilities, Overall, our government has the best way to protect people from diseases caused by extreme temperatures.

[Faisal2202]

My country was not mentioned, but it is in the same region as the ones that have been mentioned. I have not heard about this event before, though. Is it real or some kind of propaganda? Because heat can't affect us here as you said it will affect us in late 2026 and early 2027. Late 2026 means winter for us, and early 2027 means winter as well.

But if in early 2027 they meant Q2 2027, then that's a different thing because in Q2, the weather starts to change and becomes hot. We already faced natural disasters this year, and last year was the worst. But due to last year's disaster, our country took precautions earlier and invested in projects that reduced the impact this time.

Nearly 100 countries will be affected by this phenomenon called "Super El Nino", according to Impactlab Research; a projected 450,000 people will perish due to extreme heat-related exhaustion.

This Super El Niño phenomenon will peak in late 2026 and early 2027; it will bring severe drought in some parts and heavy rains in others around the world.

El Niño brings drought to some regions and severe flooding to others. Both can drive hunger and increase the spread of preventable diseases. They also damage crops, livestock and infrastructure, reducing food production and pushing up prices.

The current event has been described as a “super El Niño.” It is intensifying and is projected to rank among the strongest in recent history, with impacts expected to peak in the second half of 2026 and early 2027.

With the dangerous impact that's projected to happen because of super El Niño, what's your country's preparation for the coming super El Niño?

It doesn't seem like a lot of prep is being done or possibly even needed on the opposite side of the world from the Pacific ocean, but that might be a naive way of looking at things. There are a lot of headlines claiming lots of deaths and there have been some very big weather related events (like flooding) on that side of the world, but elsewhere is rather muted. We're told to stock up on emergency supplies and that there may be disruptions to things like the power network at time, but there are very mild effects really.It is shocking to see that ocean temperatures are 3 degrees more this time around, which has to be devastating for the creatures that live in the sea and they cannot really escape these things like us. It's sad with all the warnings we had about warming up the world that we still ended up like this and there don't seem like any plans to calm down our destruction of the planet, but rather it's accelerating.g.

I live around the coastal area of my country, and we have started experiencing the effects of El Niño. We have been experiencing devastating flooding in my area, and it has led to the loss of lives and property. Some buildings in my compound were destroyed, and some areas are still flooded to date.

Government preparedness or assistance can only be seen in newspapers or on television. They have promised to assist flooded communities with temporary accommodation, schools, and financial assistance to help them go back to business and agriculture. But none of these have happened. From my experience, they have no plan for El Niño. Their focus now is how to win elections next year.

Sad reality, all they did is send their candidates for the next elections to capitalize on the damages done by the floodings and it is sad that people can not see that this is just their usual way to convince you they're with you before elections. I don't give no flying fvcks about no elections and their candidates, I just want people to prepare for the food shortages we're about the face around the world. Also energy shortages. In Nigeria, we have faced multiple difficult situations and weather conditions like this, I don't know the reason why this is advertised this way, what are the plans behind this advertisement?

[Marykeller]

Nothing of such I can remember that my country's government, "Nigeria", which is among the most affected countries is doing about the El Niño.

On that note, everyone in my country is on their own. Those who can afford solar are buying it because there is no steady light supply. Those who can't are managing their lives by avoiding the sun 11am-4pm, staying hydrated(drinking clean water) than waiting until we are thirsty.

[coin-investor]

I lived in a tropical country in Asia it's the Philippines, I see most of the country doing a lot of things for preparation, but it's kinda trending here in my country since it's the worst, they are giving away water filter, and buckets saying that we should get ready are buckets so that we can collect water from the rain? I mean it's super El Niño it's dry season you don't really expect the rain at this times.

The president is out of touch with reality; his advisers are not guiding him on what to say and do. It's an insult to Filipinos to tell people to store rainwater when it hasn't been raining for months now; there's no common sense in what he is doing. With this advice, it just proves that his administration does not have contingency measures when other countries are preparing; he is so busy with politics, persecuting the opposition.

I'm stacking water and can foods, trying to invest on some huge powerstation with a good brand that can collect solar power.

I'm doing the same; we are left on our own to save ourselves from the effects of Super El Niño because our government failed to do its job.

Let me emphasise on the aspects of solar energy...basically, solar energy is good for were theirs no adequate or subsequent electricity, but it have disadvantages, but in a country that does not have much power supply, I can encourage them to a install a solar energy for constant power supply...despite the disadvantages...

One of the disadvantages of solar energy, is that if the battery is not a superior or quality one, it can make your electrical appliances to be defaults when it's not suppose be defaults...

[Mayor of ogba]

There's already abnormal heat in Nigeria that standing fan and ceiling fan are blowing hot breeze only those that has air conditioning are save, some Nigerians are saying the abnormal heat is cause by super El Nino, for me, the high temperature in Nigeria isn't cause by super El Nino there's always abnormal heat in Nigeria towards the ending of each year. The president of my country doesn't give a damn about his subject he's more concerned how to borrow money to enrich himself, and right now he's busy campaigning in order to win the upcoming presidential election scheduled to take place in Nigeria come 2027. There's no preparation put on ground for the coming super El Nino in my country everyone will figure out how to survive when Super El Nino finally arrives.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

This issue of El Nino has been circulating in many social media ND some influencers has used it to create various content , basically on my area if resident there is an increase heat rate most in period that we are still in serious wet season of continue rainfall which is not meant to be even after rain come severe heat that one must make use of fan, Air condition to subdue the effects. It only takes a proactive government to plans and bring some strategic measure I have search and pay attention to hear the government coming up with measure apart from social media advice but not yet except I have not followed the right source to which the government passed the information currently speak in my area if resident no government action to courtail such impact.

[Bitcoin Maxi]

I perhaps already know what it feels like or those from my country in the northern part of my country knows how exactly it will feel like and how to cope with hot weather since it’s a reoccurring event the weather over there is usually super hot and perhaps might not be considered as El Niño but they have already experienced something similar so they prepare before hand not on a national level of preparation. If my country was listed in the countries it could affect severely the Government would not even prepare they would still be focused on election.

High temperature is no more a problem in my region because right now the weather is hot and their is nothing we can do about it.
Those that are living in hot weather have nothing to do about this climate change people had been talking about that will cause severe heat or flood in different parts of the world. Flood and heat is a frequent occurrence in my place and people will live by it when it's comes.
The funny aspect of this is that we may not know when it will come and go because it will not change the way people had been living their life before we started hearing about the news.

[Callido]

I don't think my country is making any preparation for the El Nino just yet. In my country, we are particularly used to high temperature so I don't think that it's a situation that we cannot overcome. The presidential election is around the corner so the government is more focused on campaigning right now over talking about means to reduce the impact of El Nino.

I don't know if the El Nino has started just yet but I think we are having a brief wave of its effect already and it's not totally unbearable.

[Webetcoins]

I totally agree with those saying that whether government does anything or not, at least we should prepare ourselves for any condition that may occur and make sure we plan our schedules and routines accordingly so that we don't face any problems because of the possible changes in weather and atmosphere.

In some countries, government might take such things seriously and they may try doing what's necessary to keep their people safe from any possible negative changes in the weather, but it's totally true that some governments barely care about anything, if they cared enough about their people, they would work on making the economies better and reduce inflation, etc.

So, based on that, we should make our decisions. We all know what kind of a country we live in, and whether our government is capable enough to take care of such a thing and whether they are going to do anything about it or not. If we know they are going take care of it because they have always been leading from the front in such cases, then we don't need to worry about anything, but if we know that our government has no time for such things and they are simply busy doing corruption and filling their own pockets, then we should make sure we make our preparations ourselves.
