El Niño in May-June to hit temperature and rainfall, says World Meteorological Organization
The World Meteorological Organization predicts an El Niño event developing as early as May-July, which will impact global temperature and rainfall patterns. This development, earlier than previously expected, raises concerns for South Asia, including India, which is already anticipating below-normal monsoon rainfall. Rising sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific signal a likely return of El Niño conditions.
