Kathmandu. El Ni\u00f1o has set a new historical record in the Pacific Ocean. In the region known as Ni\u00f1o 3.4, the average sea level temperature has reached 3.05 degrees Celsius above normal. This is the highest daily temperature ever compared to the 1991-2020 average. <\/p>\n
The previous record was around 3.02 degrees Celsius in November 2015. This time, this level was reached two months ahead of normal in September. According to scientists, this El Ni\u00f1o is getting more intense and may reach its peak by December. <\/p>\n
El Ni\u00f1o is a natural climate phenomenon. In which the waters of the eastern and central Pacific Oceans are warmer than normal. It starts with changes in the air. Warmer water increases evaporation. Which affects the global weather pattern. This phenomenon started 9 months ago with a change in the air in the western Pacific Ocean and has gradually reached super El Ni\u00f1o levels. <\/p>\n
The Ni\u00f1o 3.4 zone is that part of the Pacific Ocean. Where the temperature is measured to assess the intensity of El Ni\u00f1o. 3.05 degrees Celsius is the highest in modern records. This has surpassed strong events like 1982, 1997 and 2015. <\/p>\n
Some estimates even compare it to the historical event of 1877. That caused widespread drought and famine. Some estimates suggest that it could reach a peak of 4 degrees Celsius. However, this remains uncertain. <\/p>\n
This record is important. Because El Ni\u00f1o can increase the impact in tandem with climate change. In a world where temperatures are rising, ocean temperatures are already high. Which makes new events more intense. Scientists are monitoring the daily data. Because the daily data can fluctuate. <\/p>\n
The effects of El Ni\u00f1o vary from region to region. The United States is expected to be the most affected this winter. The northern regions may experience warmer-than-normal temperatures and more snowfall in the west-central regions. South America, Peru and Chile are already experiencing heavy rains and flooding. <\/p>\n
Drought may increase in Central America and the Caribbean. As a result, crops may be affected. In Asian countries, the monsoon may be weak. In Indonesia, fires and smoke may increase. In Australia, the drought may be worse. <\/p>\n
Precipitation patterns may also change in parts of Africa. Overall, the risk of floods, droughts, heat waves and storms increases. Some areas have already experienced record temperatures and storms. Weather agencies are monitoring continuously. <\/p>\n
The National Weather Service is issuing alerts to farmers, disaster management teams, and the public. Water conservation, crop plan changes, and emergency preparedness are essential. Energy supplies, food security, and health services may be under pressure. International assistance can help affected areas. <\/p>\n
El Ni\u00f1o is part of a natural cycle. However, its intensity is a cause for concern. Record-breaking levels clearly demonstrate the stress in the global climate system. Scientists are waiting for more data in the coming months. The public should pay attention to official updates and follow the instructions of local authorities. This event is a reminder of how powerful climate patterns can be and how necessary preparedness is. \u2013 Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
