El Niño: Understanding the phenomenon and its influence on thunderstorms
El Niño is a phase of the ENSO climate system that alters Pacific Ocean temperatures, winds, and the location of tropical convection. Understanding its mechanism helps interpret regional variations in thunderstorm activity, but it does not imply a uniform risk everywhere. The NOAA bulletin of July 9, 2026, confirms a strengthening El Niño. For infrastructure operators, the best response remains sustainable: analyze lightning risk, protect installations according to IEC 62305, and monitor the actual activity observed at each site.
