🌡️🦟 El Niño is more than a weather story. It can become a health story.
WHO has warned that El Niño can influence public-health risks globally, including extreme heat, flooding, vector-borne diseases and food insecurity.
For Pakistan, the key question is: what could changing weather conditions mean locally?
🦟 Dengue & malaria: Changes in temperature and rainfall can alter mosquito breeding and transmission.
🌡️ Extreme heat: Higher temperatures can increase heat-related illness.
🌊 Flooding: Heavy rainfall can increase displacement and waterborne-disease risks.
🥣 Malnutrition: Climate shocks can disrupt crops, food supplies and household nutrition.
⚠️ Important context: This is not a forecast that Pakistan will experience all of these impacts. WHO’s assessment is global. Pakistan’s actual risk will depend on local weather patterns, mosquito surveillance, disease trends and food-security conditions.
