"Experts have warned this year expects to see the return of a 'significant' El Niño event that is 'likely to be the strongest so far this century'."
"During its development, the UK experienced an exceptionally hot, sunny and humid August characterised by heatwaves, with a top temperature of 31.5°C (88.7°F) reached."
"Current measurements show that sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific are rising faster than at any other time this century - and could reach 1.5-2°C (2.7-3.6°F) above normal."
Experts predict a strong 'super El Niño' this year, which could lead to record temperatures in Britain. This weather phenomenon is part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation cycle, characterized by warm Pacific Ocean temperatures. The last significant event in 1997/98 resulted in exceptionally high global temperatures. While El Niño typically brings warmer, drier summers to the UK, it may also lead to colder winters. Current sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific are rising rapidly, indicating one of the strongest El Niño patterns recorded.
