El Niño Returns, Extreme Heat Expected

The UN weather agency has warned of the imminent return of El Niño, with an 80% chance of the warming phenomenon developing between June and August.

This could lead to extreme heat and weather events globally, including potential record temperatures in Ireland and the UK. Climate scientists are urging preparedness for hotter summers and colder winters, with the World Meteorological Organization emphasizing the intensification of extreme weather.

The potential for a "Super El Niño" event is raising alarms about its far-reaching impacts on weather patterns worldwide.
