PARIS: The current El Nino weather phenomenon is expected to break records for its overall strength, a top expert said Tuesday, raising concerns about droughts, floods and other extremes linked to the event. Forecast models are pointing to an “extreme” event, said Tim Stockdale, an El Nino expert at the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), an intergovernmental organization. Stockdale said this year’s El Nino is unlike anything he had seen in more than three decades of tracking the phenomenon.

This El Niño could set the new benchmark for peak intensity, with potentially dire implications for the extreme weather events it influences worldwide.

Expert says it would be “a very, very big surprise” if the event failed to be a record-breaker.
