Researchers at the University of Chicago's Climate Impact Lab estimate that extreme heat from this year's "super-El Niño" could cause up to 451,000 excess deaths worldwide in the six months through February 2027. Nigeria is projected to suffer the most, with 31,400 deaths, followed by Indonesia and Sudan. The lab urges emergency action in high-priority regions.
