The WMO said that La Nina is characterised by unusually cool ocean temperatures in the east Pacific and the weather is expected to get harsher on a much larger scale in the coming months.
In late 2008, La Nina was blamed for icy conditions that claimed dozens of lives across Europe and brought torrential rain to Indonesia , Malaysia and Australia.
In Vietnam, La Nina made the summer of 2008 much cooler than previous summers and Hanoi and neighbouring areas also record the heaviest downpours in 40 years in late October with an approximate rainfall of 1m./.
