Maybe we're already seeing the effects of the 'El Nino' year that weather experts have predicted for this coming winter?
UK newspaper The Independent reported that:
"El Nino events happen when predominant winds which occur over surface water in the tropical pacific start to become weaker. In turn, warm waters in the western Pacific begin to wash eastwards, forcing precipitation to follow.
The latest cycle could push the average global temperature past 2014's record high in 2016.
However, meteorologists predict that the El Nino will create weather in the UK this winter similar to that of 2009/2010, when heavy snowfall caused chaos at transport hubs including airports."
Sounds like we'll need to wrap up warm and enjoy copious amounts of fresh white snow this winter... Bring it on!!
