Indonesia Expands Cloud-Seeding as Borneo Fires Rage
Indonesia is intensifying cloud-seeding to quell El Niño–driven wildfires in Borneo, reporting hundreds of missions since 2021 as peatlands burn and regional haze worsens. The broader region faces similar drought-linked risks, with Malaysia warning of a potentially prolonged haze and authorities stressing that while cloud-seeding is being ramped up, its effectiveness remains limited and preventative peatland restoration and enforcement are also underway.

Global Heat Spikes Tied to El Niño
Global sea surface temperatures for July 2026 reached record highs driven by El Niño, with Western Europe experiencing its hottest June–July period on record and widespread marine heatwaves across Europe. Scientists warn the exceptional warmth reflects persistent heat in the climate system, fueling droughts, wildfires and other extreme impacts around the world.

Overview

El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a global climate phenomenon that emerges from variation in winds and sea surface temperatures over the tropical Pacific Ocean. Those variations have an irregular pattern but do have some appearance of cycles. The occurrence of ENSO is not easily predictable. It affects the climate of much of the tropics and subtropics, and has links (teleconnections) to higher-latitude regions of the world. The warming phase of the sea surface temperature is known as "El Niño" and the cooling phase as "La Niña". The Southern Oscillation is the accompanying atmospheric oscillation, which is coupled with the sea temperature change.

Fausto Passes North of Hawaii; Genevieve Strengthens

Hurricane Fausto has strengthened into a Category 2 storm in the eastern Pacific and is tracking west toward Hawaii, with maximum sustained winds near 100 mph and forecasters saying winds and rainfall impacts could increase as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands; it remains far from land at roughly 1,300 miles west of Baja California and 1,600 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii. Simultaneously, swells from Fausto could bring dangerous surf and rip currents to Southern California, while Tropical Storm Bertha has dissipated after affecting the Gulf Coast region.

El Niño Oil Surge Could Lift Global Inflation

JPMorgan warns that a battle-ready El Niño paired with elevated energy costs could keep inflation stubbornly high, with food prices especially vulnerable and emerging markets bearing the brunt. The oil shock, supply disruptions, and higher diesel and fertilizer costs could push global inflation higher and delay rate cuts in food-sensitive economies.
