Governments brace for historic El Nino impacts on global weather extremes

Governments are preparing for heightened risks of drought, flooding, extreme heat and wildfires as a rapidly strengthening El Nino raises the prospect of a historic climate event later this year. Sri Lanka has arranged ⁠for water to be delivered to nearly 72,000 people across seven districts as the country tackles a drought linked to this year’s powerful El Nino, a ⁠senior official said on Thursday.

Sri Lanka earmarks $14m to fight severe drought, offering families 75 litres of water every two-three days.
