El Niño a ajuns la nivelul 3 din 4 și continuă să se intensifice. Avertisment privind fenomenele meteo extreme
The risk of extreme weather events, including heatwaves and heavy rainfall, is increasing globally, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The El Niño phenomenon has reached a level 3 intensity out of 4, with meteorologists closely monitoring its development. El Niño is characterized by unusual warming of surface waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific, affecting atmospheric circulation and precipitation patterns. Current measurements show temperature anomalies exceeding 2 degrees Celsius. El Niño typically leads to increased rainfall and flooding risks in regions like South America and the southern United States, while causing drought in areas such as northern Australia and parts of Asia. The WMO will soon provide an update on the situation.
