The development of an El Niño climate pattern in the Pacific Ocean this year has become more likely, with dangerously high temperatures and extreme weather events expected, the World Meteorological Organization said last week.
WMO Secretary-General Professor Petteri Taalas, citing the agency’s State of the Global Climate reports, said the eight years from 2015 to 2022 were the warmest on record. The world experienced the hot weather although the planet for three of those years “had a cooling La Niña… and this acted as a temporary brake on global temperature increase.”
Taalas said the world “should prepare” for El Niño, which can trigger more extreme weather and climate events, including severe rainfall and drought, depending on the region. The agency said El Niño events are “typically associated” with increased rainfall, which can cause flooding, in southern parts of South America, the southern United States, central Asia and the Horn of Africa.
FAO pointed to ] Southern Africa, Central America and the Caribbean and parts of Asia as areas of particular concern, where many people are already food insecure and “key cropping seasons fall under the typical El Niño weather patterns of drier conditions.”
