Due to the impact of global warming, the repercussions of climate change are becoming evident worldwide. In february 2024, there is a possibility of record-breaking heat, according to a report by The Guardian. The increase in sea level temperatures worldwide during february is contributing to a new record in this typically short month of the year. Meteorologists attribute this phenomenon to El Niño, a climate pattern causing increased heat globally.
The Earth is experiencing rapid warming, and the rising sea temperatures are accelerating climate change. The surge in sea surface temperatures in february 2024 is surpassing expectations, with ongoing intensive research aimed at understanding the underlying causes of this trend.
According to The Guardian's report, Earth scientist JK Hausfather from Berkeley suggests that february is poised to become the hottest month following January, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, and May. The recent temperature increase could reach up to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
El Niño is a specific weather phenomenon occurring when ocean temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean are higher than normal. In simpler terms, this phenomenon leads to a significant temperature increase. The El Niño effect causes hot water in the western Pacific to move eastwards along the equator, influencing the weather in India. Consequently, the South Asia region experiences intense heat, and drought conditions begin to develop. Given that india is part of this region, the impact of El Niño contributes to increased heat in the country.
