Stormy autumn, cold winter - how might El Niño affect the UK weather?

El Niño is developing right now across the Pacific Ocean - thousands of miles away from the UK. Its most profound impacts may well be centred around this area, with the increased risk of flooding and landslides in Peru and Ecuador and the threat of droughts and wildfires in Australia. However the disruption caused to global wind patterns means the impacts will ripple right across the globe.

This year's El Niño is expected to be the strongest in living memory and could lead to a range of impacts of the UK - including a stormy autumn.
