El Niño se vede din spațiu. Imaginea Copernicus care arată cât de mult s-au încălzit apele oceanului
El Niño is rapidly intensifying in the Pacific Ocean, with satellite images showing significantly warmer waters. The average ocean surface temperature has reached a record high, indicating the phenomenon's development. NOAA predicts over 90% chance of El Niño becoming very strong this fall and winter, with potential impacts on global weather patterns. The Met Office also forecasts unprecedented temperature anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region. A strong El Niño could lead to 2027 being the hottest year recorded, exacerbating existing climate trends.
