July 4 was Earth’s hottest day in up to 125,000 years, breaking a record set the day before, as the return of the El Ni\u00f1o weather pattern collides with rising temperatures at the start of the ‘summer, say the researchers.<\/p>\n

The World Meteorological Organization of the United Nations notified on Tuesday<\/a> that billions of people will be affected as El Ni\u00f1o brings warmer sea surface temperatures and unleashes extreme heat on both the ocean and land. An El Ni\u00f1o pattern weakens trade winds and pushes warm water toward America’s West Coast, National Ocean Service he says<\/a>, making areas of the northern US and Canada drier and warmer than usual. The US Gulf Coast and Southeast often see wetter than usual weather and increased flooding. El Ni\u00f1o is expected to increase global temperatures over the next 9 to 12 months, the WMO predicted.<\/p>\n More records broken. The return of the El Ni\u00f1o weather pattern for the first time in four years means more extreme weather and an acceleration in global warming, which would mean more record heat next year. A WMO report published in may <\/a>predicts that there is a 98% chance that at least one of the next five years\u2014and the five-year period as a whole\u2014will be the warmest on record.<\/p>\n \u201cEarly warnings and early action. . . they are vital to saving lives and livelihoods,” said Petteri Taalas, WMO Secretary-General Professor said<\/a>.<\/p>\n July 3: Earth experiences hottest day on record (Forbes)<\/p>\n El Ni\u00f1o Returns: UN Warns of Coming ‘Surge’ in Global Temperatures and Extreme Heat (Forbes)<\/p>\n New Orleans, Miami and San Antonio break heat records: Here’s where temperatures are hitting record highs (Forbes)<\/p>\nKey factors<\/h2>\n
