Un El Nino uriaș, deja instalat în Pacific. ONU spune că ar putea să fie cel mai puternic din ultimii 1000 ani • Newsweek România

A significant El Niño phenomenon is currently developing in the Pacific, potentially leading to record global temperatures by 2027. The UN warns of increased risks of extreme heat, droughts, and floods. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) indicates that this El Niño could reach a very high intensity, persisting until February 2027. Current ocean temperature anomalies are notably high, with some areas exceeding 8 degrees Celsius above average. The unusual intensity of this event may contribute to 2027 being the hottest year on record. While the effects of El Niño are already being felt globally, they will vary by region due to other climatic factors. The WMO emphasizes the need for preparedness as the phenomenon can significantly alter weather patterns worldwide.
