Rare 3rd consecutive La Nina event underway, could impact agriculture -Himanshu Nitnaware and Shagun

-Down to Earth

Southwest monsoon will likely extend till October, with detrimental impacts on Indian agriculture 

Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) predicted August 25, 2022, that a third consecutive event of La Nina could be underway, leading to additional rainfall along its east coast this summer.

The BOM predicted a 70 per cent chance of the La Nina event. However, the United States and UK weather agencies have claimed that the phenomenon is already underway.

Scientists said La Nina occurring in 2022, after having taken place in 2020 and 2021, would be a rare event.

“We are seeing an extended period of La Nina this year. It is the first time that this has happened since the 1950s when the event started to be recorded. The years 1973-76 and 1998-2001 were consecutive La Nina years,” Raghu Murtugudde, professor, department of atmospheric and oceanic science, University of Maryland, United States, told Down To Earth.
