Australia's weather bureau explained that the El Nino phenomenon could develop between September and November, which could help unleash deadly storms and drought conditions.
In June, NWN reported that El Nino finally developed, which is expected to strengthen next year. As El Nino develops, it could result in unusual heat.
El Nino and human-induced global warming could become the main concerns, causing soaring temperatures in parts of the globe, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WHM)
El Nino could likely develop this year
Pink Flannel flowers affected by bushfires in Australia. The latest report showed that the El Nino phenomenon could develop between September and November. El Nino could help worsen the weather event, especially surface temperatures, prolonged drought and increased wildfire risks.
El Nino is considered a natural phenomenon that could unleash increased rain conditions in parts of Central Asia, Africa and the U.S.
Meanwhile, the said phenomenon could influence the severe droughts in parts of Southern Asia and Australia.
The National Weather Service - Climate Prediction Center explained that El Nino could become least moderate by year's end. Whether El Nino could strengthen, it is best that homeowners and communities to stay alert.
Furthermore, Australia's weather bureau noted the rising temperatures in the Tropical Pacific as El Nino alert is present.
Although the 90-day Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) noted that El Nino has yet to reach threshold, the warming of temperatures could become a concern.
Meanwhile, the study in Ecosphere explained that prolonged drought conditions and wildfires could cause ecosystem collapse, especially when they become more frequent.
Wildfires and bushfires could frequently emerge due to climate change and El Nino. The prolonged drought conditions could harm wildlife and ecosystems.
Rare birds in Northern Australia impacted by soaring temperatures
In a research study in the British Ecological Society, researchers discovered that low and high-intensity fire could harm riparian birds or the Purple-Crowned Fairy Wrens in Northern Australia.
The habitats of the Purple-Crowned Fairy Wrens have suffered from wildfires and hotter conditions.
El Nino and global warming could unleash hotter, soaring temperatures, impacting rare and sensitive birds.
It can also worsen or increase fire conditions.
In addition, the report in Indicators of Global Climate Change also explained that human-induced warming helped cause fire concerns and extreme weather events due to greenhouse gas emissions.
The report emphasized the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which could cause all-time high temperatures globally.
Communities and countries' commitment is essential to mitigate the impacts of climate change-fueled soaring temperatures significantly.

Did you know? El Nino impacts
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 60 million people were affected by El Nino from 2015 to 2016.
Severe drought and flooding could impact essential crops and unleash deadly heat stress and diseases. Poorer countries without access to advanced climate tools and healthcare could become vulnerable to the effects of El Nino and climate change.
