The UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) predicts it will last at least until the end of the year. This means it will have covered three consecutive northern winters for the first time this century. La Nina is the cooling of ocean surface temperatures combined with winds and rainfall. It tends to have the opposite effect from El Nino, which is the warm phase of the so-called El Nino Southern Oscillation. It has been over the past six weeks that La Nina conditions have strengthened in the tropical Pacific, affecting temperatures and rainfall and exacerbating drought and flooding in various parts of the world. According to WMO’s El Nino/La Nina update, the current La Nina – which started in September 2020 – is likely to continue for the next six months. There is a 70% chance of this happening between September and November and a 55% chance between December and February.
