El Niño is already strong and it's only going to get stronger. Impacts are being felt across the world from the tropical Atlantic to Indonesia. During the next few months, as El Niño gets bigger, impacts will increase and spread far and wide across the planet. But what is El Niño? Why are forecasters predicting this will be the largest on record? And what impacts could it have on global and UK weather later this year?
