Experts had expressed concern that the extremely abnormal climate phenomena would occur more often and on a larger scale due to the overlap between El Nino and global warming that is getting ever more serious, while predicting that El Nino would begin in June this year. As if to prove this, the sea surface temperature in the eastern and central waters near the equator of the Pacific Ocean remarkably rose, leading to a series of catastrophic climatic anomalies.

Some regions had record high daily temperatures, whereas some countries suffered heavy damage from unexpectedly violent storms.

Disasters caused by abnormal climate are still occurring across the world, inflicting enormous human and material losses on different countries.

Large numbers of people have suffered severe damage from heavy rain.

Different parts of China were hit by unprecedentedly heavy rain.

According to news reports, the heavy rain that began to pour down in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on September 7 flooded roads, underground stations and shops and more than 100 people were taken to hospitals. The torrential downpour turned streets into a raging river and the water was several metres deep in some areas.

Shenzhen and other areas in the southern part of China had the heaviest rain ever since 1952.

Tajikistan suffered casualties including over ten deaths due to pouring rain.

In Maritime Territory of Russia, heavy rain paralysed traffic in 27 residential areas and caused serious losses to the agricultural sector.

When torrential rain is causing flooding in some parts of the world, terrible wildfires are spreading in other parts to reduce everything to ashes in an instant.

Texas of the US sustained wildfire damage. According to the relevant authorities, as high temperature persisted for the past two months and there was only a little rain, grass and trees have dried up to increase the risk of wildfire.

Meanwhile, wildfire damage keeps expanding in Canada which has suffered huge losses from the already massive wildfires. In the country, wildfires occurred in about 1 000 places. As a result, an emergency was declared in many cities and residents were evacuated.

Tunisia was also hit by wildfires in some areas as hot and dry weather continued and the temperature rose to 50°C. Wildfires occurred in ten places of five provinces in 24 hours.

Some areas of such European countries as Italy, Greece and Spain were also engulfed in flames.

The damage by typhoon is also tremendous.

Typhoons occurred on the Pacific Ocean in succession to cause severe damage to Japan, the Philippines, China and other countries and regions.

In the Philippines, which suffered several typhoon attacks this year, about 200 000 people were afflicted by Typhoon No. 9 alone.

As seen above, various kinds of ceaseless natural disasters caused by abnormal weather are endangering the existence and development of mankind.

The problem is that all this is just the beginning presaging greater disasters to be brought to mankind.

Experts say that the earth might become warmer in 2024, heat waves might appear more frequently and their intensity might be fiercer, warning that this is just the beginning.

A pressing issue for mankind is to cope with disastrous abnormal climate.
