A powerful climate pattern known as El Niño is expected to return in the coming months and scientists are warning it could intensify, with far-reaching consequences for weather across the globe, including here in the UK.
The United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has said there is a 61 per cent chance of an El Niño emerging between May and July this year, with the possibility of it strengthening at the end of the year.
