The official of the World Meteorological Organization announced the emergence of El Ni ñ o conditions, which is expected to break the record of extreme high temperature in 2016.
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Brother Black fly's left hand and the delivery of clues on the way with rain and snow! CTOnews.com, July 5, the United Nations World Meteorological Organization (WMO) issued an announcement a few days ago, referring to the formation of El Ni ñ o conditions in the tropical Pacific for the first time in seven years. This creates conditions for possible soaring global temperatures and destructive weather and climate patterns.
▲ source WMO, the latest bulletin from the World Meteorological Organization, predicts that there is a 90% chance that El Ni ñ o will continue in the second half of this year, which is expected to be at least "medium intensity." Professor Petri Tlass, secretary-general, said: "the emergence of El Ni ñ o will greatly increase the possibility of breaking temperature records and may lead to more extreme high temperatures in many parts of the world and oceans."
Professor Petri Tlass pointed out that this is a signal to governments around the world to mobilize countries to prepare in advance to curb the impact on health, ecosystems and economies. "early warning and predictive action on related extreme weather events is essential to save lives and livelihoods."
El Ni ñ o and La Ni ñ a (originally meaning "Holy Baby" and "Saint") are two extreme weather phenomena, which represent abnormally high and low surface water temperature in the tropical Pacific Ocean, among which La Nina usually occurs after El Ni ñ o. Both phenomena will affect the allocation of global water resources, leading to global climate anomalies and a significant increase in extreme weather.
CTOnews.com reported on August 5, 2016 that 2016 has been recognized as "the hottest year in history" by the International Meteorological Organization, and that hot weather is related to El Ni ñ o. As precipitation in parts of the north began to increase in July 2016, China has entered La Nina in August-a cold winter is coming after a hot summer. However, this year's La Nina phenomenon ended in early 2023.
