According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), “El Niño” phenomenom has already started, and might last until the first quarter of 2010.
“El Niño started last June or July in the Pacific Ocean area,” announced the WMO scientist Rupa Kumar Kolli, predicting that the Pacific Ocean average temperature will increase by 1 celsius degree.
However, the WMO forecasts that this event will range “from mild to moderate,” and pointed out at the fact that in 1997 the temperature increased by 2 degrees.
That year “El Niño” cause huge economic losses to Peru, when the violence of the floods in the North and the extreme draughts in the South destroyed crops, houses and infraestructure, causing also human losses.
