El Nino Weakens but Keeps Global Temperatures High, WMO Reports

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced on Tuesday that the El Nino weather pattern has begun to weaken. However, despite this change, it continues to drive higher-than-average temperatures across the globe.

El Nino is a naturally occurring weather phenomenon characterized by a disruption of wind patterns, leading to warmer ocean surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific. This warming impacts global weather systems, often resulting in extreme conditions.

Occurring every two to seven years and lasting nine to twelve months, El Nino can provoke a range of severe weather events. These include wildfires, tropical cyclones, and prolonged droughts, affecting communities and economies worldwide.

While the weakening of El Nino might suggest relief, the lingering effects mean that above-average temperatures are expected to persist. This has significant implications for various sectors, including agriculture, health, and energy.

Experts recommend that governments, businesses, and individuals remain vigilant and prepared for ongoing climate impacts. The situation underscores the importance of global cooperation in addressing climate-related challenges.
