Those are significant increases in temperatures.
And if you look at what's driving it, there's
Heat down in the water, perhaps eight degrees above the long term average, deep in the waters of the Pacific.
So that's an awful lot of heat that could come out of the and will come out of the uh ocean and will have impacts all around the world.
Yeah, what it does really is disrupts the weather patterns and the weather systems that we've all gotten used to around the world.
So uh the monsoon, for instance, the increase of heat, the increase of change in the winds that's caused by the rise of heat in the Pacific, that incr increases the chance of a very low monsoon, which affects millions and millions of people.
You'll also see different aspects of it as well, so you get flooding in some places.
We've already seen reports in Peru, which is right in the
Of Velin, you're right close to it, of getting increased floods in the last couple of weeks.
We've seen the Panama Canal declare that they're going to cut the number of ships because they're being affected by a drought.
So each and every area around the world, particularly around the tropical belt of the world, is hugely affected from Indonesia to Australia, all around that central bit, but other parts of the world are affected as well.
And we're likely to see the biggest overall impact, which is our our new record global temperature.
next year that will be directly linked, I think, to the added heat that El Nino will push into the atmosphere.
I don't think there's anything that can be done directly and in people often talk about these events as being linked to climate change.
And this is one of those events that's a natural event, but it occurs in a much warmer world.
It's not directly linked to climate change.
So
Us cutting back our fossil fuels and our emissions aren't going to i directly impact El Nino, but it's happening in a much warmer world.
And if it wasn't happening in a such a warm world, it may not have such a direct impact.
The floods, the droughts might not be as strong.
