2027 may be the hottest year since the start of observations. The super-powerful El Niño is already shaping weather across Europe, not just in the equatorial zones.

Unlike past years, the phenomenon can now turn the expected cool autumn into a warm winter that will last until spring 2027. However, the consequences will be uneven: abnormal rains and flooding are possible in some parts of the continent.

This is just one part of a complex mosaic of climate. The final weather is also affected by the Atlantic, Scandinavia and the burning of fossil fuels. These risks cannot be ignored after a record summer.
