'Perfect storm': El Niño goes off the charts

The strengthening pattern is expected to drive extreme heat, storms and disrupted rainfall across many regions, adding to concerns about record global temperatures and warming oceans.
Why now: An exceptionally strong El Niño is fuelling concern about extreme weather and record temperatures worldwide.
