continue to warm due to heat-trapping greenhouse gases,\u201d WMO deputy secretary general Ko Barrett stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExceptionally high sea surface temperatures will continue to play an important role during next months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the planet\u2019s excess heat from climate change is stored in the oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has already factored the expected La Nina into its forecasts for this year\u2019s Atlantic hurricane season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NOAA said it expected four to seven major hurricanes in the Atlantic between June and November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe upcoming Atlantic hurricane season is expected to have above-normal activity due to a confluence of factors, including near-record warm ocean temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean, development of La Nina conditions in the Pacific, reduced Atlantic trade winds and less wind shear,\u201d the NOAA said on May 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WMO noted that the past nine years had been the warmest on record, even with the cooling influence of a La Nina event that lasted from 2020 to early 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest El Nino, which peaked in December, was one of the five strongest on record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur weather will continue to be more extreme because of the extra heat and moisture in our atmosphere,\u201d Barrett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WMO has made it a priority to ensure that all regions of the world are covered by early warning systems by 2027, particularly the least well-equipped, such as Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeasonal forecasts for El Nino and La Nina, and the anticipated impacts on the climate patterns globally, are an important tool to inform early warnings and early action,\u201d Barrett said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3925238439\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\"
