Researchers, who have reached strong findings that the El Nino weather event will begin for months, have now reached a definite conclusion. The El Niño weather event, which is in the Pacific Ocean, has begun and will likely bring extra warmth to the already warming world due to climate change.
THE YEAR 2024 MAY BE THE HOTEST YEAR IN THE WORLD
Experts said that 2024 will likely be the hottest year the world will ever experience. On the other hand, it was said that El Nino will increase the temperature of the world by 1.5 degrees. El Nino is expected to last until spring.
Noting that the intensity of El Niño will peak at the end of the year, Adam Scaife, Head of Long-Term Forecasts from the UK Met Office, said, “It is increasing in intensity right now, there have been signs of increasing in our forecasts for several months.”
Drought and Heavy Rain Threats…
The most significant impact of El Nino is expected to be on precipitation. “Drought will come to Australia, weaken the monsoons in India and bring more rain to the Southern United States,” the experts said.
While it is normal to see new temperature records in the statement, it is also stated that “A new record for global temperature next year is definitely reasonable. This depends on how big the El Niño will be, we have a high chance of having a new global temperature record in 2024.” it said.
Experts attributed the thesis that record temperatures can be experienced in 2024, the record temperatures experienced in 2016, the El Nino formation in 2015.
IT IS A HUGE ECONOMIC COST
According to the researchers, it would be very costly from an economic point of view for El Nino to be like previous iterations.
Stating that storms and floods cost the lives of approximately 23 thousand people in the strong El Nino weather event in 1997-1998, the researchers said, “It also cost an economic burden of more than 5 trillion dollars.”
Experts stated that the expected El Nino in 2024 will be a stronger weather event than in 2016.
