WMO reports a 60% chance of transition from strong El Niño to La Niña, potentially lowering temperatures, but long-term climate change continues to raise global temperatures.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reports that the strong El Niño event, which contributed to record-breaking global temperatures and intense heatwaves in India, is showing signs of ending. The organization predicts that later this year, there is at least a 60% chance of a transition to La Niña conditions, which could potentially lower temperatures. However, the WMO states that even with the shift, long-term climate change will continue to drive up global temperatures due to the impact of greenhouse gases.
