The World Meteorological Organization has warned of a rise in global temperatures. Also said that after La Nina, further warming El Nino may develop. It can also affect the rainfall pattern. The report of Down to Earth, which works on environmental issues, said that El Nino is going to complete a phase of 3 years of extremely unusual weather. This can greatly affect the weather of the world. During the El Niño event, there was more warming in the Pacific region.
Countries in the western end including Argentina, Brazil etc. remained cold. Last year 2022 was the third consecutive year of La Niña, which is highly unusual. Has happened only three times since 1950. The effects of La Nina can be devastating. Meanwhile, Eugenia Kargbo has been appointed heat officer in the African country of Sierra Leone. She is also the first officer from Africa to be posted on this post.
Seasonal change in the Pacific region affects the world Climate scientists say that the seasonal change in the Pacific region has a direct impact on the world. These links are called ‘teleconnections’. The first example of this was given by the physicist Gilbert Walker in the 1920s. They observed that changes in atmospheric pressure in Darwin, off the north coast of Australia, and through Tahiti, 8,000 km away in the middle of the Pacific, were connected.
The teleconnection pattern is now being seen all over the world. We can understand the global telecommunication pattern from the drum. Our environment is like a drum. If one end of the drum is tapped, it vibrates. Its sound depends on how tight the strings of the drum are. The strongest teleconnections are in the Pacific Valley. La Nina causes longer winters in the Pacific Northwest region of the US.

What is “La Nina”
La Nina means little girl in Spanish. In this, sea water cools rapidly. La Nina affects the weather around the world. According to meteorologists, it causes clouds in the sky and rains. More or less rain, cold and heat in India depends on La Nina only. Due to “La Nina” in India, there is a possibility of more cold and rain.
