The United Nations warned Wednesday of a growing likelihood the weather phenomenon El Nino will develop in coming months, fuelling higher global temperatures and possibly new heat records.
“The world should prepare for the development of El Nino,” said Petteri Taalas, head of the UN’s World Meteorological Organization, warning that “the development of an El Nino will most likely lead to a new spike in global heating and increase the chance of breaking temperature records.”
