For well over two years since 2020, Nauru and other countries in the region have been experiencing the La Nina weather pattern with hot and dry weather and very little to no rain.
La Nina weather pattern occurs when sea surface temperature is below average.
Nauru Media reports this current dry season is likely to continue in the next few months for the Micronesia region; with some islands facing dry weather while some are not.
According to Senior Nauru Meteorology Service (NMHS) weather forecaster Ricky Joram, “The La Nina weather pattern will continue for the next 3 to 6 months and that they (NMHS) will continue to monitor Nauru’s weather forecast with the support of PICASSO SPREP”.
