What is ‘Super El Nino’ will happen in my country?
Hello my dear Steemians,
Since I remember my school time on Geography subject, that was my favourite subject we were told about the changes that happening in weather and one of the most concerning was increase CO2 that is human induced and also with this that CO2 will create a kind of blanket, therefore the warmth from sun normally will escape back to space but with the CO2 in atmosphere will be trapped and the temperature on Earth will raise creating global warming and greenhouse effect.
Such words like El Nino, I heard not long ago and after watching a documentary about that I understand that with these words it describes increasing temperature of sea surface in the tropical eastern Pacific that rises 0.5% above long term average.
In Scotland in in Kirkcaldy the place we live we already had few times super Storms one of them was call Storm "Babet" that causes a lot of flooding in our area 3 yeart ago/.
For us, living in Scotland that is the Northern part of UK, ‘Super El Nino’ means increased strong winds, stormy weather that we could witnesses lately too usually on western part of UK coast. Usually autumn is the time of rain and storms but with ‘Super El Nino’ the speed of wind will reach extreme numbers and the volume of water during stormy weather will lead to floods and will destroy the houses.
Already last few years we notice many areas in UK are flooded and some areas of coastal settlements are destroyed due to heavy waves, those villages are abandoned now.
It is important for Scottish people:
make sure that the roofs are secured and old rood tiles are checked regular twice a day and if needed replaced.
if anyone live close to coast these people may consider relocation, because recently we notice that Home Insurances are not covering any more for such area of UK where villages close to waterfront and also if they were warned.
it is important to make sure that your heating is working fine and if you have any wood burner it is important to have enough wood just in case if the electricity is cut off and it is cold.
Of course, it is important to have generator with some fuel, that is again important if any stormy weather will cause electricity cut off.
If possible when it is the time that you expecting ‘Super El Nino’ it is recommended satellite telephone so that you are not cut off
maybe also good to have a 4W drive off road car just so that you re able to escape if needed.
Of course, all these arrangements are very important when you think about the worsening of weather condition, at present we have just few of them but slowly we are aware that it is important to be ready now just in case, better to be prepared and not just hope for luck.
