Climate scientists warned temperatures in the Pacific have increased by THREE degrees Fahrenheit in recent weeks as ocean winds have weakened. The so-called El Nino phenomenon, which has a huge impact on the world's weather, has only been stronger twice before in recorded history - the last time in 1997, when a series of violent 100MPH Atlantic storms slammed into the UK. And experts claimed this year's El Nino is STILL strengthening and could soon break all historical records with the extreme weather patterns lastng until next Spring - meaning Britain could face one of the worst winter storm seasons in living memory. Meteorologist Leon Brown, of The Weather Channel UK, said the super-strength El Nino could even dislodge the jetstream, leading to more unstable weather in the UK this autumn. He said: "A more mobile weather pattern through winter increases the risk of a wetter, stormier season in the UK. “The biggest impact of El Nino is around the tropics as we have started to see with a greater number of tropical storms “However it is a very powerful phenomenon and has knock-on effects across the globe in America, Asia, Australia and Europe. “There are signs that this year a significant El Nino is building. We think it could drive a strong jetstream which can lead to a more mobile weather pattern and very changeable and stormy weather as we head into winter."
