Met Office warns 'unprecedented' El Niño

The UK Met Office has issued an unprecedented warning that this year's El Niño will be the strongest in over a century, with sea surface temperatures rising to 'unheard-of' levels.

The phenomenon is expected to bring storms and heavy rain to the UK, while also disrupting global weather patterns. 2027 is forecast to become the hottest year on record.

The warning has prompted concerns about flooding, drought, and food security worldwide.
