'Super El Nino' ​​to break records; Science world with great concern

 

 

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has confirmed that the 'El Nino' phenomenon that has formed in the Pacific Ocean is moving into a super strong phase faster than previously predicted. The figures for July indicate that the sea surface temperature in the Niño 3.4 region in the Pacific was two degrees Celsius above normal. This is well above the basic threshold of 0.5 degrees Celsius for being considered an El Nino. Scientists point out that this is the highest temperature recorded for this period in history, and that it reached this state months before the phenomenon reached its maximum strength, which is increasing concern.

Meteorologists have clarified that the transition from the La Niña phenomenon last winter to El Niño was very rapid. This El Niño is predicted to reach its full strength in the coming months from October to December. According to leading climate scientist Seeck Hausfather, some forecasts indicate that ocean temperatures could rise by up to 3.6 degrees Celsius above average. If this happens, it could become the most El Niño the Earth has ever witnessed, breaking all previous records set in 2015-2016, when the temperature difference was 2.75 degrees Celsius.

This global climate change is expected to have severe consequences around the world. Severe droughts and crop failures in tropical regions could adversely affect global food security. In northern countries such as Canada, it could lead to dry and hot weather in winter, which could lead to massive wildfires in the coming years. The scientific community reminds the world that countries around the world need to urgently prepare to deal with the effects of this 'Super El Niño', which has the potential to disrupt both the agricultural sector and marine ecosystems.
