According to experts, the probability of its occurrence is about 70%. Currently, an abnormal increase in water surface temperature is being recorded in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, which may increase in the coming months.
Experts note that if such a scenario is implemented, serious climatic consequences are possible. These include extreme heat in a number of regions, including Australia, Africa, India and Latin America, as well as heavy rains and floods in other parts of the world, RuNews24 writes.
Scientists explain that El Nino affects the redistribution of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere, which leads to disruption of habitual weather processes and changes in climatic conditions on a global level.
It is noted that the possible high intensity of the future phenomenon, which may turn out to be stronger than previously recorded episodes, is of particular concern. This, in turn, can have an impact on agriculture, water resources and the environmental situation in a number of regions of the world.
