80% chance of El Nino forming between June and August, warns World Meteorological Organisation | India News
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has warned that there is a strong likelihood of El Niño conditions developing between June and August. According to the agency, the probability of the climate phenomenon emerging during this period is around 80 percent. El Niño is known for warming ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, which can influence weather patterns across many regions of the world. Its effects often include changes in rainfall, higher temperatures, droughts in some areas, and flooding in others. Meteorologists are closely monitoring ocean and atmospheric conditions to assess the potential impact on agriculture, water resources, and disaster preparedness. Countries that depend heavily on seasonal rainfall may face increased uncertainty if El Niño strengthens. The WMO emphasized the importance of early planning and preparedness measures to reduce possible disruptions caused by extreme weather events linked to the developing climate pattern.
