The UN warns about a new El Niño. El Niño is a natural weather pattern. It may start in the next few weeks. If it starts, it can raise temperatures around the world. This is worrying because Earth is already getting hotter due to climate change. Stronger heat can affect people, animals, and plants. It can also change rain and storms in many places. Scientists say we should prepare for these changes. The UN wants countries to plan now.
