El Nino may stop working in the middle of this year

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on March 30 that the El Nino weather phenomenon peaked in late 2009 but continued to have a strong impact on global weather before it ended in mid-2010.

Beginning in June 2009, El Nino overturned the weather patterns in areas from the West Latin America coast to East Africa due to this phenomenon making the climate warmer in Central and Eastern Pacific.

El Nino has caused many major snowstorms in the US and prolonged drought in Australia.

Last October, heavy rains in Uganda caused landslides and floods that killed at least 80 people and destroyed tens of thousands of homes.

Many other areas of the world are also severely affected by El Nino.

WMO predicts that although it has declined and is about to end, the El Nino phenomenon continues to have a strong impact on the weather in the Pacific tropical region.

From March to June 2010 is a particularly difficult period to forecast the weather events in this region due to the persistent impact of El Nino and La Nina, the weather phenomenon contrary to El Nino starts from this year.
