A “Godzilla” El Niño, which raises global temperatures and supercharges extreme weather, is likely to emerge this summer, climate experts warn.
António Guterres, the UN Secretary General, warned the upcoming weather pattern “will pour fuel on the fire of a warming world” and urged countries to prepare.
The impacts on the UK are less predictable than other parts of the world, but El Niño could increase the likelihood of higher temperatures this summer and into next year. Several forecasters are predicting this El Niño could be one of the strongest ever recorded, leading some to dub it a “super” or “Godzilla” event.
