WMO: La Niña Likely in September, Global Temps Remain High
Imagine the ocean has a special cycle, like breathing.
Sometimes it's El Nino (warm breath), and sometimes it's La Nina (cool breath).
Right now, the cycle is neutral.
The WMO says La Nina might come back starting in September.
This means cooler ocean waters.
Even with La Nina, the world is still expected to be warmer than usual.
La Nina can affect weather patterns, perhaps bringing changes like stronger monsoons and colder winters.
These ocean changes happen within a bigger picture: the Earth is getting warmer due to climate change.
The WMO uses these forecasts to help people prepare and save money in sectors like farming and energy.
WMO forecasts a potential La Nina return starting September 2025.
Global temperatures are still expected to be above average despite La Nina.
La Nina and El Nino are opposite phases of a Pacific Ocean climate cycle.
There's a 55% chance of La Nina conditions from September-November 2025.
La Nina may impact rainfall patterns and seasonal temperatures.
