Who warns us about El Niño?

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) is the leading international body responsible for monitoring global weather and climate. As the story mentions, they issue warnings about El Niño's potential worldwide impact, helping countries prepare for its effects, such as floods, droughts, and extreme heat, and in the UK's case, more storms and rain.
