00:00The El Nino weather phenomenon which previously drove global temperatures to unprecedented levels is anticipated to make a comeback in
00:07mid-2026, according to a statement from the UN on Friday.
00:12The United Nations Weather and Climate Agency indicated that El Nino conditions might start to emerge as soon as May
00:19to July.
00:19Our latest update by the World Meteorological Organization signals the return of an El Nino event. This is marked with
00:29a shift toward a warmer surface temperature near the equatorial Pacific, and this will have an impact on the global
00:39temperature, but also it will reshape the rainfall pattern worldwide.
00:43Conditions oscillate between El Nino and its opposite La Nina, with neutral conditions in between.
00:52The last El Nino contributed to making 2023 the second hottest year on record, and 2024 the all-time high.
01:00In general, with El Nino, we tend to see in some part of the world some excessive rainfall, for example,
01:08the greater on of Africa, the southern part of South America, Argentina, and on the contrary, we also have region,
01:17large region, where we see drought conditions.
01:20An example could be a large part of Australia, Indonesia, Southeast Asia.
01:24El Nino generally occurs every two to seven years and lasts for approximately nine to twelve months.
01:31The World Meteorological Organization aims to provide advance warnings to enhance preparedness, particularly in climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture,
01:41water management, energy, and health.
