The La Niña phenomenon may strike again. The World Meteorological Organization issues the latest notice

On September 11, 2024, the World Meteorological Organization notified the latest news about the La Niña phenomenon. According to the organization, the probability of the La Niña phenomenon occurring from September to November 2024 is 55%, and the possibility of the La Niña phenomenon occurring from October 2024 to February 2025 will increase to 60%. During this period, the probability of the El Niño phenomenon developing again is very small.

The La Niña phenomenon refers to a significant drop in sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Opposite to the El Niño phenomenon that causes global temperature rise, it has a relatively short-term cooling effect on the global climate. In the past, the La Niña phenomenon has triggered global climate anomalies many times. For example, droughts occur in some areas while precipitation increases in other areas.

This news has attracted great attention from the global meteorological community and relevant countries. If the La Niña phenomenon really occurs again, it may have an impact on global industries such as agriculture and fishery. The crop yields in some areas may be affected, and the distribution of fishery resources may also change. At the same time, the La Niña phenomenon may also bring more extreme weather events such as rainstorms and hurricanes. Meteorological departments of various countries will closely monitor changes in the ocean and atmosphere in order to issue early warning information in a timely manner and provide protection for people's production and life. The World Meteorological Organization also calls on countries to strengthen cooperation and jointly address the challenges brought about by climate change.
