Kathmandu. In 2026, the world could face another major heat wave. According to meteorologists, the El Ni\u00f1o phenomenon developing in the Pacific Ocean could be very powerful this time. So strong that it could become the strongest since the 19th century. This could further increase the world’s average temperature. That could make 2026 or 2027 the hottest year on record. <\/p>\n
During El Ni\u00f1o, the ocean waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean are warmer than normal. Sea surface temperatures are expected to be around 3\u00b0C above normal this time. According to scientists, a moderately strong El Ni\u00f1o usually raises the temperature by about 1 to 2 degrees Celsius. <\/p>\n
El Ni\u00f1o is a natural weather cycle. Which happens every few years. When ocean water warms, it releases more heat into the atmosphere. This changes wind and precipitation patterns. This affects the weather in different countries around the world. <\/p>\n
During a strong El Ni\u00f1o, temperatures in the eastern Pacific Ocean are 1 to 2 degrees Celsius above normal. An increase of 2 degrees is also considered important. However, this time the temperature is expected to rise to around 3 degrees Celsius. <\/p>\n
Previously, in 1982. 83, 1997. 98 and 2015. There was a very strong El Ni\u00f1os on May 16. This time, the forecast is even bigger. “I’ve never seen such a strong El Ni\u00f1o signal in my forecasts before,” said Adam Scaife, a scientist at the UK Met Office. \u2019<\/p>\n
El Ni\u00f1o changes normal ocean and air patterns. The impact is not uniform across the board. More rain and flooding may occur in some areas. While others may experience less precipitation and more heat. <\/p>\n
This strong El Ni\u00f1o could make 2026 the hottest year on record. However, 2027 is also more likely to be the hottest year on record. This is because the effect of sea warming from El Ni\u00f1o on the Earth’s temperature appears to be greater over time. <\/p>\n
Temperature records were also set during powerful El Ni\u00f1o events in 1998 and 2016. However, climate change has already warmed the Earth. So this El Ni\u00f1o phenomenon can push temperatures even higher. <\/p>\n
Scientists predict that by 2027, the global average temperature could remain 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for some time. If these predictions come true, the impact of El Ni\u00f1o on both global temperature and weather could be clearly seen in the future. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
