El Niño phenomenon worldwide

The El Niño meteorological phenomenon, with consequences for the entire planet cause extreme weather events, has begunreported the United States Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, for its acronym in English.

is characterized by warming of the surface of the Pacific Ocean eastern equatorial and occurs every 2 to 7 years on average.

“Depending on your strength, El Niño can cause a variety of impacts, including increasing the risk of heavy rainfall and drought in some parts of the world.“said NOAA climatologist Michelle L’Heureux, adding that it could also bring record temperatures.

“Climate change can exacerbate or mitigate certain impacts related to El Niño. For example, El Niño could generate new temperature records,” he explained.

In May, the World Meteorological Organization, WMO, forecast that the period 2023-2027 would be the hottest ever recorded on Earthunder the combined effect of El Niño and global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

The opposite phenomenon, La Niña, which on the contrary tends to cause a drop in temperatures, arrived three years ago.

In general, El Niño tends to moderate hurricane activity in the Atlantic, but favors it in the Pacific, according to NOAA.

Australia warned this week that El Niño will increase temperatures in a country already vulnerable to forest fires.

The influence of the phenomenon in the United States is weak during the summer, but more pronounced from late autumn to spring, NOAA states in its statement.
