UK warned biggest El Nino since 1800s will trigger hottest year ever

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleThe Met Office has warned that 2027 is forecast to become the UK's hottest year on record, driven by an unprecedented El Nino event expected to raise eastern Pacific sea temperatures by more than 3°C. This climate event is predicted to be the largest since the 19th century, with experts stating that 2027 is very likely to replace 2024 as the warmest year on record and temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The UK is forecast to experience increased storms and rain over autumn and winter, although recent heavy rainfall is insufficient to immediately relieve the nation's severe drought conditions. Prime Minister Andy Burnham warned of potential heavy rainfall straight after the summer heatwaves, which have left 71.3 per cent of England and all of Wales suffering from drought. The National Drought Group has increased its meeting frequency to weekly to monitor the volatile conditions, warning that drought conditions may persist into the new year until reservoirs and groundwaters are fully replenished.
