An El Niño climate pattern will likely develop later this year, an event that could exacerbate global warming and break temperature records around the world, forecasters from the World Meteorological Organization said on Wednesday.
"The development of an El Niño will most likely lead to a new spike in global heating and increase the chance of breaking temperature records," Petteri Taalas, the secretary general of the WMO, said in a news release. The United Nations agency said it cannot yet forecast the strength or duration of the El Niño, but according to its outlook, there is a 60% chance that the El Niño will form between May and July and an 80% chance it will form between July and September.said the Earth just experienced the eight warmest years on record, despite a cooling La Niña event over the past three years that acted as a temporary brake on global temperature rise.
