El Nino weakens but above normal temperatures are predicted
By Arnold Tutu
The World Meteorological Organization -WMO- has described the 2023 – 2024 El Niño weather which has affected Zambia as one of the five strongest on record.
The organisation says the El Nino which has reached its peak is now gradually weakening but will continue to impact the global climate in the coming months.
WMO Secretary-General CELESTE SAULO says the El Nino phenomenon will fuel the heat trapped by greenhouse gases from human activities.
Professor SAULO says above normal temperatures are predicted over almost all land areas between March and May.
MEANWHILE, the Zambia Meteorological Department has advised farmers to inspect crops for damage, disease and pests.
The public has also been advised to take caution when going for outdoor activities.
