The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Tuesday warned that El Niño conditions are rapidly developing in the Pacific Ocean, raising the likelihood of disruptions to global weather patterns and increasing the risk of extreme climate events in the coming months.
According to Vishwa Mohan's TOI report, in its latest update, the UN weather agency said there is an 80% probability of El Niño developing during the June-August period and a more than 90% chance that it will persist through November. The forecast has heightened concerns in India, where El Niño is typically associated with weaker monsoon rainfall and above-normal temperatures.
