According to the latest report on the El Ni ñ o/La Ni ñ a phenomenon released by the World Meteorological Organization on the 2nd, the La Ni ñ a phenomenon may return from September this year and affect global weather and climate conditions in the coming months. However, despite the temporary cooling effects of La Ni ñ a, temperatures in many regions around the world may still be above average. The meteorological organization stated that neutral conditions (neither El Ni ñ o nor La Ni ñ a) have persisted since March 2025. However, the La Ni ñ a phenomenon may begin in September and emerge in the coming months. The likelihood of El Ni ñ o occurring between September and December is very low. Although the La Ni ñ a phenomenon may return in many places, the report also points out that temperatures in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere and a large part of the Southern Hemisphere are expected to be above average from September to November. La Ni ñ a phenomenon refers to the sustained abnormal cooling of seawater in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific, while El Ni ñ o phenomenon refers to the sustained abnormal warming of seawater in the equatorial Pacific.
