El Nino is over but its impact will last! Experts gave dates: New temperature records will be broken, we will be scorched!
The El Nino weather event that started in 2023 has ended, but its effects will last until mid-July. Experts pointed out that new temperature records will be broken in this process and made vital warnings.
While 2023 was recorded as the hottest year of all time, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the global average temperature last year rose 1.18 degrees above the 20th century average of 13.9 degrees. In 2016, the previous warmest year, the difference was 0.15 degrees.
In addition to the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, scientists say the most important factor behind last year’s global average temperature record is the El Nino weather phenomenon.
According to a statement from the Australian Meteorological Office, El Nino, which started in June 2023, ended in mid-April, and the number of days with record high temperatures in the year from its onset until May 15 was 248.
While January-February-March-April were recorded as the hottest months, temperatures continued to hover at record levels between April 15 and May 15. From April 15th to May 15th, when El Nino ended, 17 of the 30 days experienced record temperatures, while the last 13 days were all recorded as record temperatures.
