International weather specialists at the World Meteorological Organization have detected indicators suggesting the emergence of a potential La Niña climate pattern.
The International Weather Organization (IWO) predicts a 60% likelihood of the weather condition La Niña appearing by year's end. This phenomenon typically chills the global climate. Its opposite, El Niño, typically brings higher temperature averages. The IWO reported from Geneva that a strong El Niño episode from November 2023 to January 2024 has decreased, and a new one this year is considered unlikely.
Even though La Niña may temporarily reduce temperatures from 2020 to 2023, according to IWO Chief Celeste Saulo, this won't impact the long-term surge in global temperatures. She stated, "Eventually, there might be a temporary drop in temperatures due to a La Niña event, but it won't alter the overall upward trend in global temperatures."
Despite La Niña's cooling effect from 2020 to 2023, the past nine years still hold the title as the warmest since the Industrial Revolution.
The cooling effect of La Niña from 2020 to 2023 might temporarily lower the temperature increase, but it won't negate the overall effect of global warming. Subsequently, the strong influence of greenhouse gases from human activities continues to drive up global temperatures.
