Weather indicators linked to El Nino, that began in 2015, have now returned to neutral levels, Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology said.
According to Reuters, the strongest El Nino in 20 years — which we, too, recently experienced in Malaysia — which caused reduced crop production throughout Asia as well as food shortages, has finally ended.
El Nino — spurred by warming of sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific — has now waned to make way for La Nina and Malaysians can expect showers until the end of the year.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Madius Tangau said in a statement yesterday that heatwave was no longer likely to happen in Malaysia, as most places recorded an average temperature of 33 to 34 degrees Celsius.
