GENEVA – In its latest report, the organisation highlighted a noticeable shift in conditions across the tropical Pacific Ocean, noting that sea surface temperatures are rising rapidly. This trend, it said, signals a possible re-emergence of El Niño between May and July 2026.
The WMO also projected that, over the next three months, global surface temperatures are likely to remain above average, accompanied by localized variations in rainfall.
El Niño is a climate phenomenon characterized by unusually warm surface waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. It typically occurs every two to seven years and lasts between nine and twelve months.
