After 2016, El Nino is back in the Pacific Ocean, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), USA, declared on Thursday that the weather-changing El Nino that packs the power to blunt the Atlantic hurricane season has begun.
El Nino, which in Spanish means little boy, is a climate pattern that develops along the equatorial Pacific Ocean after an interval of a few years ranging between 2 and 7 years.
Globally, El Nino has been often associated with severe heatwaves, floods and droughts in the past.
Sea surface temperatures across the equatorial Pacific Ocean have risen 0.5C (0.9F) above normal and wind patterns have changed to the point where El Nino criteria have been met, the US Climate Prediction Center said Thursday.

During a nighttime training flight, two Japanese navy helicopters, each carrying four crew members, crashed in the Pacific Ocean south of Tokyo, possibly colliding with each other, according to the country's defence minister on Sunday. Tragically, one crew member recovered from the waters was later declared deceased, while rescuers continued to search for the remaining seven who were still missing. The incident occurred late Saturday near Torishima island, approximately 600 kilometres (370 miles) south of Tokyo, involving two SH-60K choppers from the Maritime Self-Defense Force, Defense Minister Minoru Kihara informed reporters.

Coral Reefs Are Heading Toward , the Worst Global Mass Bleaching on Record.
According to U.S. government scientists, coral reefs are approaching a fourth global mass bleaching event caused by global heating.
According to U.S. government scientists, coral reefs are approaching a fourth global mass bleaching event caused by global heating.
The occurrence is expected "to be the most extensive on record," 'The Guardian' reports. .
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Coral Reef Watch.
about 54% of ocean waters that contain coral reefs have endured enough heat stress to cause bleaching.
The Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef
system on the plant, also experienced
"its most widespread heat stress event" ever
this year, 'The Guardian' reports. .
Currently, the record for the most widespread bleaching event took place between 2014 to 2017 with 56% of the ocean's coral reefs subjected to heat stress levels severe enough to cause bleaching.
Dr. Derek Manzello, the Coral Reef Watch director, said that the current bleaching
event is set to surpass that record soon...
... ābecause the percentage of reef areas experiencing bleaching-level heat stress has been increasing by roughly 1% per week.ā.
The bottom line is that as coral
reefs experience more frequent
and severe bleaching events,
the time they have to recover
is becoming shorter and shorter. , Dr. Derek Manzello, the Coral Reef Watch director, via 'The Guardian'.
Current climate models suggest
that every reef on planet Earth will
experience severe, annual bleaching
sometime between 2040 and 2050, Dr. Derek Manzello, the Coral Reef Watch director, via 'The Guardian'.
Coral reefs "provide habitat to a quarter of
all marine species" but are regarded as one
of the most susceptible ecosystems to
global warming, 'The Guardian' reports. .
