The WMO says that that after a brief spell of a weak La Nin\u0303a, neutral conditions have persisted since March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa Nin\u0303a is the natural cooling of the tropical equatorial ocean as a result it shifts the weather pattern in different places, mainly in the tropics, but not only,\u201d says Wilfran Moufouma Okia, the WMO\u2019s head of climate prediction.<\/p>\n<p>About 90 per cent of the excess heat from global warming is stored in the ocean, making ocean heat content a critical indicator of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor October to December 2025, the probability of La Nin\u0303a conditions slightly increases to about 60 per cent. There is little chance of El Nin\u0303o developing during September to December,\u201d the UN agency said in an update.<\/p>\n<p>Moufouma Okia says a strong La Nin\u0303a can bring big changes in temperatures, wind patterns, and rainfall, but that it is too soon to know what category of La Nin\u0303a we can expect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s too early to try to give an indication of the strength. Because depending on the strength, every La Nin\u0303a event has its own consequences,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>However, the WMO says La Nin\u0303a will not bring down global temperatures which will remain above average for much of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The WMO is keen to stress the impact of La Nin\u0303a is just one driver of global weather patterns.<\/p>\n<p>It says the phenomenon &#8220;should be seen in the broader context of human-induced climate change, which is increasing global temperatures and exacerbating extreme weather.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moufouma Okia says there will be monthly updates to clarify and give a more accurate picture of what the WMO is expecting. He says Tuesday&#8217;s earlier alert is necessary to allow countries which may be affected by La Nin\u0303a to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>The past 10 years make up the hottest individual years ever recorded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mauritius<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
