When will El Niño peak?

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 05:28:13 GMT

That's when we're most likely to feel "typical" El Niño effects. El Niño officially arrives early: What it means for 2023 weather In the U.S., that means the entire southern third to half of the United States, including California, is likely to be wetter in El Niño. (Exactly where that dividing line falls varies from year to year.) Meanwhile, th...

(CNN) — Cuando la semana pasada encontraron a cuatro niños indígenas después de 40 días en la selva amazónica de Colombia, sus rescatistas se dieron cuenta de que la mayor, Lesly Jacobombaire Mucutuy, de 13 años, tenía algo escondido entre los dientes.“Descubrimos que tenía un par de semillas masticadas lentamente entre las mejillas y la mandíbula”, explicó Eliecer Muñoz, uno de los cuatro guardias indígenas que establecieron el primer contacto con los niños.Muñoz dijo a CNN que las semillas eran de una palmera nativa del Amazonas llamada Oenocarpus Bataua, coloquialmente conocida como “milpesos” en Colombia.Sus frutos son ricos en grasa y las tribus amazónicas los utilizan para hacer un aceite vegetal, pero las semillas de Leslie aún no estaban maduras cuando la encontraron, dijo Muñoz.Eliecer Muñoz (al centro), uno de los guardias indígenas que encontraron a los cuatro niños, habla durante una conferencia de prensa en Bogotá, el 15 de junio de 2023.
