China’s National Climate Centre has forecast the formation of a super El Nino that could be the strongest ever recorded, state broadcaster CCTV said on Tuesday.
Sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean are expected to rise steadily and peak around November to December, forming potentially the strongest El Nino in history, CCTV reported citing the climate centre.
Since the start of the summer, China has already seen the effects of an El Nino, including torrential rain in various regions.
The rain belts have sometimes overlapped, compounding disasters.
Typhoons have been strong and active, marked by prolonged wind and rainfall.
Last week, the strongest typhoon to hit China this year, Typhoon Dolphin unleashed extreme rain across the country’s eastern, central and northern regions, far from the coast where it made landfall following a two-week journey across the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
