Les phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes sont les preuves du changement climatique
Prepare for an El Niño.
WMO’s latest updates confirm that El Niño conditions are developing and are set to influence global temperature and rainfall patterns, increasing the risk of extreme weather over the coming months. Although some uncertainty remains about El Niño peak strength and timing, most forecast models suggest it will be at least moderate—and possibly strong.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭?
Each El Niño event is unique, but it is typically associated with increased rainfall in parts of southern South America, the southern United States, parts of the Horn of Africa and central Asia, and drier conditions over Central America, northern South America, the Caribbean, Australia, Indonesia, and parts of southern Asia. During the Boreal summer, El Niño’s warm water can fuel hurricanes in the central/eastern Pacific Ocean, while it hinders hurricane formation in the Atlantic Basin.
Its effects vary depending on the intensity, duration, time of year, and how it interacts with other climate variability. Not all regions of the world are affected, and even within a region, impacts can be different.
The WMO community will continue monitoring conditions in the coming months.
