«De acordo com a Organização Meteorológica Mundial, OMM, várias regiões do mundo estão a enfrentar eventos severos relacionadas com o estado do tempo: inundações generalizadas em grandes partes da Ásia devido à monção, situação agravada pelo fenómeno la Niña, agora estabelecida no Ocenao Pacífico, e os deslizamentos de terra na China, motivados pela forte precipitação.
Outras regiões estão a ser afectadas por tempo quente, em particular a onda de calor na Russia e as graves secas na África subsaariana». In Instituto de Meteorologia, IP
Unprecedented sequence of extreme weather events, posted on 11 August
«Several regions of the world are currently coping with severe weather-related events: flash floods and widespread flooding in large parts of Asia and parts of Central Europe while other regions are also affected: by heatwave and drought in Russian Federation, mudslides in China and severe droughts in sub-Saharan Africa. While a longer time range is required to establish whether an individual event is attributable to climate change, the sequence of current events matches IPCC projections of more frequent and more intense extreme weather events due to global warming. The Monsoon activity in Pakistan and other countries in South-East Asia is aggravated by the la Niña phenomenon, now well established in the Pacific Ocean». In OMM.
