The development of an El Nin\u0303o will most likely lead to a new spike in global heating and increase the chance of breaking temperature records,\u201d said WMO Secretary-General Professor Petteri Taalas.<\/p>\n<p>According to WMO\u2019s State of the Global Climate reports, 2016 is the warmest year on record because of the \u201cdouble whammy\u201d of a very powerful El Nin\u0303o event and human-induced warming from greenhouse gases. The effect on global temperatures usually plays out in the year after its development and so will likely be most apparent in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world should prepare for the development of El Nin\u0303o, which is often associated with increased heat, drought or rainfall in different parts of the world. It might bring respite from the drought in the Horn of Africa and other La Nin\u0303a- related impacts but could also trigger more extreme weather and climate events. This highlights the need for the UN Early Warnings for All initiative to keep people safe,\u201d said Prof. Taalas. No two El Nin\u0303o events are the same and the effects depend partly on the time of year. WMO and National Meteorological Hydrological Services will therefore be closely monitoring developments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
