WHY IT MATTERS
This unexpected forecast could impact the UK's winter preparations, including heating demand and potential disruptions to transportation and daily life.
What happened
A potentially record-breaking Super El Niño event could have an unexpected effect on the UK's winter, contradicting the usual expectation of a cold end to the season.
According to climate models, this year's El Niño may bring warmer temperatures to the UK, rather than the usual cold snap.
The shift in weather patterns is attributed to the strength and location of the El Niño event, which could influence the jet stream and lead to milder winters in the UK.
