The latest readings from the central‑eastern Pacific show sea‑surface temperatures 3.05 °C above normal, setting a new record for the Oceanic Niño Index. While the long‑term index still awaits the peak expected later this year, forecasters say the early strength already signals major changes in global weather patterns—including reduced monsoon rainfall in India, increased wildfire risk in Brazil, and suppressed Atlantic hurricane activity. The Met Office forecasts greater wet‑and‑stormy conditions in north‑west Europe in autumn and early winter, while still debating the exact links to future UK cold spells. Economic ramifications are already evident as crop yields risk falling and regional economies face fresh weather‑induced hardships.

The European Union announced it would remove sanctions from Russian oligarchs Alisher Usmanof and Mikhail Fridman, an action that has sparked outrage in Ukraine. Kyiv’s officials have condemned the move as unacceptable and a sign of impunity for Moscow, while the Kremlin has welcomed it as a positive shift. France, citing national security, and Luxembourg, concerned about frozen assets, pushed for the removals, whereas Latvia agreed to a compromise that extends sanctions on other entities for three years. The decision raises questions about the EU’s strategy to deter Russian aggression and the broader geopolitical implications for Eastern Europe.
