El Niño Warming Set to Be 'Strongest in Living Memory', Warns Met Office El Niño, a naturally occurring weather pattern that has been around for centuries, is expected to be the strongest on record this year.
According to the Met Office, temperatures anomalies are likely to exceed 3°C above normal, with some climate scientists predicting the warm water reservoir beneath the Pacific Ocean will reach levels not seen since the 19th century.
The current event is expected to have far reaching consequences, including a surge in global temperatures that could make 2027 the hottest year on record.
