The El Niño phenomenon could begin between July and September next, the third quarter of 2023, because there is an 80% chance that the climate event will occur, warned the United Nations (UN) which will cause an increase in temperatures on the planet, droughts and rainfall in different regions. 

In its recently released update, the UN relied on the report of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) July, 70% between the months of June and August and up to 80% between July and September. 

The El Niño phenomenon is usually associated with an increase in global temperature and in Panama, it produces a decrease in rainfall in the regions located on the Pacific slope and an increase in the Caribbean slope, due to the warming of the waters of the Tropical Pacific.

The WMO confirmed that after three years, the episode of La Niña – unusually persistent – came to an end. However, at the moment the conditions are neutral in terms of the ENOS, that is, no episodes of El Niño or La Niña are taking place.

Due to the above, the WMO, at the moment, cannot predict the intensity or duration of the El Niño episode.”

We have just had the warmest eight years on record, despite the fact that in the last three years we have had a La Niña cooling that has acted as a temporary brake on the increase in global temperature,” said Petteri Taalas, secretary general of the WMO. 

And he added: “It is most likely that the development of El Niño will cause a new upturn in global

The world must prepare for the formation of an episode of El Niño, which is usually associated with an increase in heat, droughts or precipitation in different parts of the world. It could alleviate the drought suffered by the Horn of Africa, as well as other effects caused by La Niña, but it could also trigger more extreme weather and climate phenomena. This highlights that, to protect the population, the United Nations initiative called Early Warnings for All is essential,” said Taalas. 

According to the WMO, 2016 was the warmest ever recorded, with an intense ENOS and man-induced warming due to greenhouse gases. The effect on global temperatures usually manifests itself in the year after its development, so it will probably be more evident in 2024.
