The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) forecasts that sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean will be 3.8°C above average between November and January. This surpasses previous El Niño events, where temperatures reached 3°C and resulted in severe consequences. Celeste Sauro, Secretary-General of the organization, has urged proactive measures to mitigate potential damage. She stated that such a value has never been recorded before. The approaching El Niño is expected to be significantly stronger than past occurrences. The WMO’s prediction highlights the increasing impact of climate change on global weather patterns. Anticipatory action is crucial to lessen the effects of this powerful climate phenomenon on vulnerable communities and ecosystems.
