The world meteorological organization (WMO) confirmed its previous forecast, and stated that in December-February with a probability of 75-80 percent formed a warm phenomenon El niño. Its intensity is not as high as in 2015-2016, when droughts and floods have led to the fact that about 100 million people in southern Africa, Asia and Latin America faced a shortage of food and drinking water.

Warm phenomenon El niño (“the boy” in Spanish) and similar cold phenomenon La niña (“girl”) — two phases of the southern oscillation, temperature fluctuations of surface water in the Equatorial Pacific ocean. El niño and La niña influence global temperature, precipitation and weather in General in many parts of the world. In particular, El niño is usually associated with years, abnormally warm in terms of a global average temperature.
According to the latest WMO, sea surface temperature on a partial area of the tropical Pacific ocean “already correspond to levels characteristic of a weak phenomenon El niño, although the relevant atmospheric modes have not yet formed.” The likelihood of developing a full-fledged El niño in the period from December 2018 to February 2019 is approximately 75-80 percent, and the probability of its preservation in February-April 2019 is about 60 percent.
The sea surface temperature in the Eastern-Central tropical Pacific ocean from October 2018 are at levels characteristic of a weak phenomenon El niño. However, the atmosphere has not responded to this additional heat, and the winds in the upper atmosphere, the system of clouds and pressure at sea level yet do not reflect the characteristics of El niño. According to forecasts based on models, this will change within one or two months.World meteorological organization
