WHAT DID THE WMO SAY ABOUT HOW MUCH WILL THE TEMPERATURE REMAIN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EL NIÑO GLOBAL PHENOMENON?
“The occurrence of El Niño will greatly increase the likelihood of breaking new temperature records and unleashing more extreme heat in many parts of the world and in the ocean,” said WMO Secretary-General and meteorologist Petteri Taalas.
In addition, the high temperatures will occur especially in the following three months and will last until the end of 2023, with an intensity that “will be at least moderate”, although it is not ruled out that it could become a severe phenomenon.

WHEN WILL PERU FEEL THE EFFECTS DUE TO THE EL NIÑO GLOBAL PHENOMENON?
Starting in October or November, when the rainy season begins, there will be heavier rainfall, due to the global El Niño Phenomenon and the coastal El Niño, Senamhi executive president Guillermo Baigorria said. Although the precipitations were expected to happen in the summer beginning in December.
