The UN warns that El Niño will cause higher than normal temperatures until May. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) anticipated this Tuesday that the current El Niño climate phenomenon will continue at least between March and May.
El Niño, a phenomenon that occurs periodically but irregularly (with intervals of between two and seven years), "impacts global temperature especially the year following its development," the report noted. The sea surface temperature of January 2024 was, by far, the highest recorded in history in the month of January.
