OMM alerta para El Niño forte no segundo semestre do ano

A Organização Meteorológica Mundial anunciou uma probabilidade de 90% de que o El Niño surja no segundo semestre deste ano e afete o Quênia.

Na terça-feira, a Organização Meteorológica Mundial anunciou uma probabilidade de 90% de que o El Niño surja no segundo semestre deste ano. A secretária-geral Celeste Saulo afirmou que o mundo deve se preparar para um El Niño forte, que poderá aumentar secas, chuvas intensas e ondas de calor. O El Niño de 2023-2024 esteve entre os cinco mais fortes já registrados globalmente e contribuiu para as altas temperaturas em 2024. No Quênia, especialistas esperam chuvas entre a média e abaixo da média em junho, julho e agosto, especialmente nas áreas ocidentais e no Rift Valley. Ao mesmo tempo, temperaturas acima do normal são esperadas em todo o país. O cientista climático Dr. Chris Kiptum disse que fortes chuvas são esperadas no final do ano e podem causar inundações em áreas urbanas. Especialistas alertam que os impactos também dependerão do Dipolo do Oceano Índico e pedem preparativos antecipados para reduzir danos.
