Three months of storms are set to kick off within days after the biggest “Super El Nino” charges up to batter the UK.
A Met Office forecast has warned of catasrophic effects – with more than one and a half foot of rain which will cause floods, along with gale-force winds and freezing -14C temperatures until early 2016.
Climate experts have alerted councils, transport operators and even emergency services ahead of the El Nino – which “will more likely than not become the strongest ever on record”.
Flooding caused by the El Nino – which is caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean – will be similar to the winter of 2013, which saw chaos across the UK and left 17 people dead.
The report says: “The risk of spells of windy or stormy weather is greater than usual. There is clear shift towards above-average rainfall.
“El Nino moderately increases the probability of increased frequency of Atlantic depressions crossing the UK and wetter-than-average conditions.”
