Met Office warns of unprecedented El Niño effects on UK weather

The UK is preparing for the impacts of a historic El Niño event, expected to be the strongest in over a century. The Met Office predicts a rise in sea surface temperatures by 3 degrees Celsius, leading to increased rainfall and storminess in the UK this autumn. Globally, severe droughts are anticipated in regions like South America and the western Pacific, while 2027 may become the warmest year on record due to the heat released from the ocean during this event.
