Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicates that the probability of a historic "Super El Niño" event has risen to 75% amid ongoing meteorological uncertainty.
In Peru, experts warn that the climate phenomenon could trigger a severe fuel crisis, potentially leading to widespread scarcity and causing diesel prices to exceed S/30. Pedro Gamio, former director of Petroperú, specifically cautioned that the severe weather conditions risk paralyzing the Talara refinery and causing significant disruption to the country's energy sector.
