Across the Pacific, a slow warming of equatorial waters is setting in motion a chain of atmospheric consequences that will reach far beyond its origins. Spain's meteorological agency AEMET has warned that the El Niño pattern building for 2026 and 2027 — potentially one of the most intense in decades — will alter precipitation and temperature across the Iberian Peninsula, bringing hotter, drier summers to a land whose farms, reservoirs, and rhythms depend on reliable rain.

Climate impacts may shift agricultural competitiveness within EU, potentially affecting Spain's food security and export capacity. Water scarcity could increase EU dependency on alternative suppliers and influence migration patterns, indirectly affecting geopolitical stability in Mediterranean and North African relations.
Similar to the 1997-1998 El Niño event, which caused significant droughts in Mediterranean regions and prompted international climate cooperation discussions, though current event may be more severe.
