[my country Enters El Niño Phase in May with Higher Than Normal Temperatures and More Rainfall in Southern Regions] The National Climate Center reported on the 29th that sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific entered an El Niño phase in May. This phase is expected to develop into a moderate to strong El Niño event during the summer and autumn, peaking in the autumn and winter. The probability of a strong El Niño event is increasing, and it is projected to weaken next spring. This spring and summer, El Niño is in a rapid development phase, with the atmosphere showing a significant response to sea surface temperature changes. This is conducive to a significant strengthening of the Northwest Pacific subtropical high, guiding more water vapor to my country's land areas, particularly increasing rainfall in regions south of the Yangtze River. Meanwhile, temperatures across most of the country are expected to be higher than normal. (CCTV News)
