El Niño Climate & Flood Risk Context

Peru is the epicentre of El Niño's historical discovery. Strong warming in Niño 1+2 waters collapses the Humboldt Current upwelling, disrupts the world's largest anchovy fishery, and triggers catastrophic desert downpours (huaycos) along the hyper-arid northern coast. In Cusco, flood risk increases when antecedent soil moisture prevents rainwater from infiltrating, forcing runoff into local municipal drains and river channels.
