El Niño officially begins, threatening global weather extremes
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has declared the official start of El Niño, a natural Pacific weather pattern expected to raise global temperatures and trigger extreme weather conditions worldwide.
The natural Pacific weather pattern known as El Niño has officially commenced, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Scientists report that conditions are now underway in the tropical Pacific, marked by a significant increase in sea surface temperatures. This phenomenon is anticipated to elevate global temperatures and could lead to various weather extremes worldwide. Forecasts suggest the current El Niño event might develop into a "super" El Niño, potentially becoming one of the strongest on record. This declaration signals a period of heightened climate vigilance globally.
