The World Meteorological Organization has warned that a powerful 'behemoth' El Niño is set to disrupt weather patterns worldwide, with extreme events already being reported expected to multiply and cascade as the phenomenon intensifies. Forecasters say it will bring extreme heat to Latin America, Eastern and Southern Africa, Asia and the Pacific, raising concerns about droughts, floods and record temperatures in the months ahead.
