The current year may turn out to be the driest on the planet on record due to several factors. The Bloomberg news agency writes about this with reference to experts.
In particular, senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Michael McFaden called one of the prerequisites for this such a widespread and dangerous natural phenomenon, which other experts have already talked about a lot, as El Niño. Let us recall that this is the name for the periodically repeated increase in water temperature in the central and eastern tropical part of the Pacific Ocean. It causes a decrease in precipitation, which negatively affects weather conditions in tropical countries, including Asia and Latin America. Previously, due to this natural phenomenon, the most important source for feeding the Panama Canal, Lake Gatun in Central America, dried up. According to McPhaden, due to El Niño, next year will be noticeably warmer than this year. At the same time, he recalled that every second year when this element occurs, it is additionally always even warmer than the first.
The hydrometeorological center noted an improvement in the condition of winter crops
The head of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Petteri Taalas, agreed with his colleague’s immediate weather forecasts. He also predicted increased droughts and floods next year. Previously, the organization had already predicted an increase in precipitation even in the winter months in South America, as well as East and Central Asia.
Experts also noted that last summer several preconditions had already developed in the world for the situation to worsen this year. In particular, one of the highest global average temperatures has already been recorded. According to experts, it was 1.4 degrees more than the pre-industrial value. Some of them named a specific figure and date - in particular, on July 3, the average temperature was a record 17 degrees Celsius. Meteorologists expect the figure to rise by another 0.1 °C this year. Another problem was that the extent of sea ice in Antarctica was at one of its lowest levels in many years. This will be one of the prerequisites for future floods, and due to the scale of this continent, such a disaster could spread over most of the planet.
