Met Office warns of cold UK winter from El Niño
The Met Office has updated its forecast, warning that an unprecedented "Godzilla" El Niño event could bring cold and snowy conditions to the UK this winter. The natural climate pattern, characterised by warming Pacific Ocean temperatures, is anticipated to rank among the most severe ever documented. Experts say El Niño tends to weaken the polar vortex, allowing bitterly cold air to spill into Europe.
