UN Weather Agency Reports Strong El Nino Development, Forecasts No Extreme Temperature Increases
Geneva, Switzerland – The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) today announced the development of a strong El Nino climate pattern in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The WMO’s assessment indicates that while the nino event is underway, no significant increases in extreme temperatures are currently anticipated globally. El Nino is a naturally occurring phenomenon characterized by unusual warming of surface waters in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific.
This warming disrupts typical atmospheric circulation patterns, potentially impacting weather conditions worldwide. According to Celeste Saulo, Secretary-General of the WMO, the current development of the El Nino event warrants continued monitoring. While the phenomenon itself can contribute to shifts in global weather systems, the WMO’s forecasts do not predict a substantial escalation of extreme temperatures in the immediate future.
However, the WMO emphasized that the ongoing El Nino could still influence weather patterns and increase risks associated with extreme weather conditions throughout the coming months. Scientists will continue to track the evolution of the nino event and its potential impacts on regional and global climate. The assessment was made on June 2, 2026, at 14:29 local time.
