The world is being shaken by “El Niño”. Meteorologists are warning that El Niño is ready to wreak havoc on the global climate. The United Nations’ meteorological agency, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), has warned that this year’s El Niño is likely to become the strongest weather phenomenon recorded since 1950. El Niño is likely to cause higher-than-normal temperatures in many parts of the world. Experts say that the huge heat energy in the Pacific Ocean will affect the climate system.
According to the WMO’s estimate, sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific region, which is the center of El Niño, are likely to be about 3.7 degrees Celsius higher than normal during October-November-December.
Meteorologist Ryan Maye shared a global map of global temperatures on social media. “The earth is almost completely red,” he commented. He said that El Niño could reach its peak by winter, and temperatures on Earth are likely to increase in many places except the United States. Another climate expert, Leon Simons, described the 3.4 degree Celsius increase in temperature in the Pacific region as a “super duper El Niño.”
An abnormal increase in temperatures in the Pacific Ocean is called “El Niño.” This causes uneven rainfall patterns around the world. Temperatures rise. Drought conditions may occur in some areas, while heavy rains and floods may increase in others. This El Niño is expected to continue until February 2024.
