The Peruvian government announced on the 3rd that it will implement a 60-day state of emergency in more than 1,300 regions and cities in the country to deal with the risk of heavy rainfall that may be caused by the 2026-2027 El Niño phenomenon. Peru's official media “The Peruvians” published the Supreme Decree issued by the Peruvian government on the same day, saying that the state of emergency covers more than 1,300 regions and cities, involving 24 provinces including Lima, Piura, and Ica, as well as the Callao region. During the state of emergency, local governments will immediately take measures to reduce the extremely high disaster risk faced by the region and carry out emergency response and post-disaster recovery work. Peru's National Civil Protection Agency is responsible for technical coordination and supervision, and various government departments such as the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of National Defense will participate in the operation. The El Niño phenomenon refers to a phenomenon where seawater continues to heat abnormally over a large area in the central and eastern equatorial waters of the Pacific Ocean, which often causes abnormal climate in many regions of the world. The World Meteorological Organization previously predicted that the possibility that this round of El Niño will continue until February 2027 is close to 100%, and that it may become one of the strongest El Niños since at least 1950. A report recently released by Peru's El Niño Phenomenon Research Center predicts that due to strong El Niño, rainfall is expected to be higher than normal in the next few months in northern Peru, the central coast, and mountainous regions of central and western Peru, and heavy rainfall may occur in some regions.
