The Ministry of Education in Peru has announced that the school year will conclude at the end of November in several regions due to the expected strong impact of the El Niño phenomenon. Education Minister José Chang stated that the measure applies to educational institutions located in zones considered vulnerable to the severe weather conditions.
Simultaneously, regional weather patterns are shifting elsewhere in South America. In Colombia, the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (Ideam) has anticipated heavy rainfall for October and November. This marks Colombia's second rainy season of 2026, with the highest precipitation volumes expected in the Andean and Caribbean regions despite the concurrent presence of El Niño.
