Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a) 1 only

(c) 1 and 2 both
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Ans (a) The El Niño weather pattern developing in the Pacific Ocean could be one of the strongest on record, with the potential to cause floods, droughts, extreme heat and crop losses across the world. The phenomenon, which the World Meteorological Organization expects to reach peak intensity by early 2027, could result in 451,000 excess deaths by February, ‌the University of Chicago’s Climate Impact Lab said.  El Niño is the warm phase of the naturally occurring El Niño-Southern Oscillation cycle, a climate pattern that influences weather around the world.  Elevated Pacific Ocean temperatures are the telltale sign that El Niño is forming.  Equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures hit 3.05 degrees Celsius (5.49 Fahrenheit) above normal levels – the highest temperature anomaly for any El Niño since records began, and far above the 0.5°C threshold for defining the phenomenon, data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, showed.  Equatorial Pacific temperatures of 0.5°C above the norm constitute a weak El Niño, versus 1.0°C for a moderate one, 1.5°C for a strong one, and 2.0°C for a very strong one, according to NOAA.  The WMO does not officially use the term super, but forecast this month that the developing El Niño will intensify into “a very strong event” with significant impacts on rainfall and temperatures.
