- Coverage
- 90 outlets in 52 countries, across 5 regions. The article links are no longer held: they lasted a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 90 outlets, 8 state-owned, 6 public-service, 76 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Africa 5: Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia. Americas 10: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru, United States, Venezuela. Asia-Pacific 13: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam. Europe 19: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Middle East 5: Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates.

- Timeline
- Earliest article The Independent, 23 Sept 2026, 03:10 UTC. First seen 23 Sept 2026, 03:20 UTC. Last seen 24 Sept 2026, 18:13 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
- Classification
- Region International. Topic Environment. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
- Score
- 50.66, at the end of the last day measured. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
- Chain
- Continues UN warns El Niño threatens global health and food security. Continued by Heat from super El Niño could cause 450,000 extra deaths. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
- Day by day
Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
