On October 29, local time, the World Meteorological Organization released a new version of the “Global Seasonal Climate Update” stating that the La Niña phenomenon has formed and is expected to be moderate to strong this year and will continue into next year, affecting temperatures, precipitation and storm patterns in many parts of the world.
La Niña refers to a large-scale cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, accompanied by changes in tropical atmospheric circulation (i.e., wind, pressure, and rainfall). Its effects on weather and climate are generally opposite to those of El Niño.
△The picture comes from the World Meteorological Organization
The latest seasonal climate forecast from the World Meteorological Organization shows that it is very likely (90%) that sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific will decrease before the end of 2020 probability) to remain at La Niña levels and may continue into the first quarter of 2021 (55% probability).
The most significant precipitation anomalies associated with the 2020 La Niña event will occur in: below-normal rainfall in the greater Horn of Africa and Central Asia, and in Southeast Asia, some Pacific islands, and northern South America. is higher than normal levels.
The World Meteorological Organization pointed out that it should be noted that El Niño and La Niña phenomena are not the only factors driving global and regional climate development. Every La Niña or El Niño event is different, and their impact on regional climate can vary depending on the time of year and other factors. Therefore, decision makers should always monitor the latest seasonal forecasts for the most up-to-date information.
Governments can use global announcements of La Niña events to mobilize planning in climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture, health, water resources and disaster management. At the same time, as response capabilities are affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the World Meteorological Organization is vigorously strengthening support and consultation for international humanitarian agencies and working hard to reduce the impact on the most vulnerable groups.
△The picture comes from the World Meteorological Organization
World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Taalas said that El Niño and La Niña phenomena are the main natural driving factors of the earth’s climate system, but currently all natural The climate events that occur are occurring against the backdrop of human-induced climate change, which exacerbates extreme weather and affects the water cycle.
Talas also pointed out that La Niña typically has a cooling effect on global temperatures, but the heat trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases is enough to offset this effect. As a result, 2020 will remain one of the warmest years on record, and 2016 to 2020 is expected to be the five warmest years on record. Current La Niña years are even warmer than past years with strong El Niño conditions.
The last strong La Niña event was from 2010 to 2011, followed by a moderate event from 2011 to 2012.
