Experts of WMO said El Niño weather pattern is getting started

Experts at the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Monday, global sea surface temperatures reached a record high in May, June and July and the warming El Niño weather pattern is only just getting started.

The WMO expert added that daily June temperatures in the North Atlantic had been “dramatically high” compared to usual readings, while Antarctic sea ice levels reached their lowest extent for June since satellite observations began.

Just last week, WMO announced the onset of El Niño, characterized by a warming of the Pacific Ocean. Combined with man-made greenhouse gas effect, the weather pattern is expected to make one of the next five years the warmest on record.
