The United Nations' weather and climate agency warned Thursday that global temperatures will likely remain at or near record levels for the next several years, with a 75 percent chance that the 2026-2030 five-year average will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The agency noted that all 11 hottest years on record have occurred since 2015, and a new temperature record is likely before 2031.
An investigation into Singapore Airlines flight SQ321's severe turbulence incident has identified a weather radar failure as a key factor. The airline has committed to enhanced safety measures following the tragedy, which resulted in one fatality and dozens of injuries.
Meteroogists forecast it will rival – or exceed – record El Niño from 1997 and further heat globe El Niño, Nature’s chaotic climate agent, has formed in a warmed-up Pacific Ocean and is expected to grow to historic strength, meteorologists announced on Thursday. Experts said the El Niño, a natural warming cycle, should further heat a globe already warming from fossil fuel pollution and will probably turbocharge extreme weather across the planet. Meteorologists forecast it will rival – or exceed – a record El Niño that began in 1997 and helped trigger billions of dollars in damage from heatwaves, floods, droughts, tornadoes and wildfires.
The UN confirmed the onset of El Niño and urged countries to strengthen early warning systems, cautioning that the Pacific Ocean-warming phenomenon will drive above-average temperatures worldwide and increase extreme weather risks.
Warnings of a strong El Nino weather phenomenon this year suggest the coming months could be characterized by drought, flooding and extreme heat. What impacts are in store, and can we prepare for the worst of it?
