The United Nations World Meteorological Organization announced that the warm oceans will emit unusual heat, noting that the northern part of the globe and the tropics are expected to face warmer temperatures than average during May and June due to warm sea temperatures.
According to the weather and climate organization, each of the first four months of the year 2020 was the warmest of its kind, or the second warmest month of its kind (compared to the same month annually), ever.
While the high temperatures in previous years were driven by the frequent natural climate fluctuations in the oceans, these phenomena that include "El Niño" do not play a role now.
"Air, sea and ocean temperatures have increased due to climate change, and this has a major impact on extreme events such as tropical cyclones, and rainfall patterns," said Petteri Talas, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, in a statement on Tuesday.
The organization has forecasted an above-average rainfall in the Indian Ocean, Australia and the western part of the Indonesian archipelago in the coming months.
Less rainfall is expected in the southern regions of South America, the tropics, as well as in the Caribbean and the Indian subcontinent.
