Supply Chains Brace for Looming Threat of Super El Niño
St. Petersburg, FL (July 11, 2026) – Joe Adamski, Managing Director at ProcureAbility, was recently featured in SupplyChainBrain, discussing the supply chain risks posed by a potential Super El Niño and its global impacts across agriculture, shipping, and manufacturing.
A powerful Super El Niño is expected to bring extreme weather to nearly every corner of the globe, creating new challenges for supply chains that have already been strained by geopolitical tensions, tariffs and trade disruptions.
To understand the risks posed by the arrival of a Super El Niño season, it’s important to first understand exactly what it entails. On its own, El Niño is a weather pattern that arrives every two to seven years or so, marked by sea temperatures along the equatorial Pacific rising by 0.5 degrees Celsius above average over the course of several months.
“Because of the Pacific Ocean’s tremendous size, disturbances there can lead to climate disturbances around the globe,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration explains. “To the rest of the global atmosphere, the arrival of El Niño in the Pacific is like a giant ringing a bell so loudly that it knocks the dishes off the shelves in a house down the street. The atmosphere hears the echoes from El Niño from thousands of miles away.”
