(中央社日內瓦3日綜合外電報導)聯合國氣象機構世界氣象組織(WMO)秘書長索羅今天表示,目前這波聖嬰(El Nino)氣候現象,可能是過去40年有紀錄以來最強的一次。

法新社報導,索羅(Celeste Saulo)在瑞士日內瓦記者會中說,根據目前的發展趨勢,聖嬰「可能比有監測紀錄以來的任何一次都更強,也就是完全超越過去40年人們所使用的圖表範圍」。

世界氣象組織表示,這種自然發生的聖嬰現象將在未來幾個月增強至「非常強烈」的程度,並且幾乎肯定會持續到明年2月。

聖嬰現象會使赤道太平洋中部和東部的海面溫度升高,並造成全球風向、氣壓和降雨模式改變。

索羅告訴記者:「如果這種趨勢繼續下去,聖嬰現象的強度可能會超過人們開始監測以來的任何一次,確實超出了我們過去40年來使用的圖表。」

她並說,2023至2024年強勁的聖嬰現象,使2024年成為有史以來地球上最溫暖的一年,「如果這個紀錄被打破,我們也不必感到驚訝」。
