The global food supply is at risk due to the approaching super El Niño phenomenon. These are the main ways to invest in agricultural commodities and the financial traps that might surprise you.

The deadliest summer on record: European Union scientific reports reveal that in Spain, Germany, and France alone, the death toll has reached 25,000. Scientists expect the numbers to rise through the end of August.

The Earth's oceans reached their highest temperature ever recorded in modern history this past weekend. The average sea surface temperature in non-polar regions hit 21.1 degrees Celsius, breaking the previous record set in March 2024. Scientists are particularly concerned that this record was reached during a period when water temperatures are typically not at their peak.

"Very, very unusual": The director of the Meteorological Service, Dr. Amir Givati, explained in an interview with the ynet studio the connection between the possibility of heavy rains in the middle of August and the "Super El Niño" phenomenon, the reasons for the extreme change, and when the peak is expected.

Heavy rains and potential flooding are expected in parts of Israel this weekend, right at the peak of summer. Meteorologists attribute this unusual weather to the global "Super El Niño" phenomenon.

Heatwaves, fires, droughts, and floods are becoming the "new normal," and 2026 may be the hottest year in history. Scientists warn of approaching tipping points in critical climate systems and a food crisis that could push tens of millions into hunger. Alongside the dire forecasts, experts emphasize: it is still possible to halt the process.

The "Super El Niño" effect: The coming days are expected to be hotter than usual for the season, but at the weekend there is a possibility of a highly unusual phenomenon for mid-August - local rains in various areas of the country. This is the explanation for the phenomenon.
