Summary
A powerful El Niño is forecast to sweep across Southeast Asia, but this is no ordinary climate event. Scientists warn it could develop into a "super" El Niño—sometimes dubbed a "Godzilla" El Niño by researchers—making it one of the strongest on record.
The effects are already beginning to emerge, with dry spells affecting parts of Malaysia and Vietnam, while wildfires have broken out in Indonesia.
Previous super El Niños have caused trillions of dollars in global economic losses. From farming and energy to tourism and public health, Insight traces how a single climate phenomenon ripples through every layer of society—and why the worst could still lie ahead as El Niño intensifies.
