The apocalyptic forecasts threatens to throw the world into a violent chaos.
NASA recently warned that the impact of this year’s so-called “Godzilla El Niño”, a warming of sea temperatures in the Pacific, could be the worst in history.
Catastrophic weather this year has already seen dozens of countries around the world declare emergencies while the UN warned at least a million children face agonising starvation.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said the “unprecedented situation” could devastate the world with severe drought, flooding, heavy rains and scorching temperatures.
The killer record-breaking phenomenon has already unleashed devastating storms in the United States, mudslides in South America and raging wildfires in Australia.
A spokesman for Oxfam said: “The effects of the strongest El Niño in several decades are set to put the world’s humanitarian system under an unprecedented level of strain in 2016.”
The weather could even spark all-out war – as scientists from Columbia University recently revealed El Niño “had a role in 21 per cent of all civil conflicts since 1950”.
The crisis has already wreaked havoc across Britain, forcing thousands out of their homes after severe flooding.
Health experts fear the weather pattern could now fast-track the spread of the deadly Zika virus, even unleashing it in the UK.
WHO said four million people were at risk of the dangerous virus which has “spread explosively” across South America.
