The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports a 50- to 60-percent likelihood of El Nino forming later this year, which could result in record-high global temperatures. El Nino, a climate pattern that affects weather worldwide, typically occurs every two to seven years and can disrupt rainfall patterns. The World Meteorological Organization is set to provide an update on this phenomenon. Meanwhile, NOAA has introduced a new method, the Relative Oceanic Nino Index, to more accurately track El Nino and La Nina events.
