UN says WMO forecast expects El Niño to intensify; secretary‑general to speak
Summary
A UN spokesperson said the World Meteorological Organization will issue an El Niño update projecting intensification over the next three months and noted the secretary‑general will deliver remarks tomorrow at about 12:15 p.m. New York time.
The United Nations said the World Meteorological Organization will release an update on El Niño forecasts tomorrow that projects the climate phenomenon will intensify over the next three months and bring ‘‘above normal temperatures worldwide.’’ Farhan, the UN briefing moderator, said the secretary‑general is expected to deliver remarks at approximately 12:15 p.m. New York time.
