Summary
The World Meterological Organisation says the world is facing a "super-sized" El Niño event that could be the strongest in more than 70 years. The climate pattern is expected to intensify in the coming months and persist through until February next year. And while its no guarantee of extreme conditions through summer, experts here say it raises the odds of hot and difficult conditions.
