The El Niño phenomenon has significantly intensified sea surface temperatures, reaching a record-breaking average of 21.1 °C on August 21 and 22, 2026. According to data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service and scientific warnings, these instrumental temperature levels have not been observed in 125,000 years.
Simultaneously, this sustained warming trend has caused a notable decrease in rainfall in Guatemala. Projections indicate that severe water scarcity will persist and potentially worsen through 2027, posing a continuous challenge for various productive sectors in the region.
