While the 'La Niña' phenomenon typically has a temporary cooling effect on global average temperatures, it is important to note that several regions are expected to experience higher-than-normal temperatures. This phenomenon is known to have significant impacts on weather patterns worldwide, affecting rainfall, temperatures, and storm activity. 'La Niña' is a climate pattern characterized by below-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. According to an update from the World Meteorological Organization, there is a 55% probability of a weak 'La Niña' influencing weather and climate patterns over the next three months.
