The United Nations has warned that the weather phenomenon "El Niño" can return in the coming months. This can lead to a breakdown of heat records, as pointed out on Wednesday by the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO). "El Niño" can develop in late July by 60% and in late September by 80%.

This phenomenon occurred for the last time in 2018-2019, but was "weak". This, however, between 2014 and 2016, was one of the "strongest of all times", that is, the records of heat that occurred so far in 2016. As explained by the WTO, the biggest increase in temperature caused by the effect of the coming months will be noted in 2024: "We hope that in the next two years there will be a sharp increase in global temperatures".

Phenomenon causing abnormal situations

The "El Niño" phenomenon is a consequence of rising temperatures in the Central and Eastern Pacific and changing atmospheric pressures in different territories. It usually lasts between two and seven years and lasts between nine and twelve months. It causes abnormal climate changes and situations around the world. In dry regions such as South America, rainfall increases and droughts occur in wet areas such as Indonesia. It can also cause extreme weather and climate phenomena. In summer, in the northern hemisphere, there is a risk of hurricane formation in the central and eastern Pacific, but it can also hinder hurricane formation in the Atlantic.
