Introduction

Weather experts are watching the ocean. They think a big event called El Niño will happen in 2026. This event can cause very bad weather around the world.

Main Body

The ocean water is getting very warm. There is an 82% chance that El Niño starts between May and July. If the water gets too hot, it becomes a 'super' El Niño. Humans change the climate. This makes El Niño more dangerous. It will cause very hot days and no rain in the Amazon and Australia. Canada will have warm winters and more forest fires. El Niño changes the wind in the Atlantic Ocean. This means there will be fewer hurricanes. However, some hurricanes can still hit land and cause damage.

Conclusion

We will know more about the weather in June 2026. This event can hurt farms and buildings.

🌍 Comparing Things: 'More' and 'Fewer'

When we compare two things, we change the word to show the difference.

1. For things we can count (like hurricanes): FewightarrowextFewer\text{Few} ightarrow ext{Fewer} (Example: Fewer hurricanes)

2. For things we cannot count or for general quality (like danger): DangerousightarrowextMoredangerous\text{Dangerous} ightarrow ext{More dangerous} (Example: More dangerous weather)
