UN predicts above-average temperatures even without El Niño

Global warming caused by humans as powerful as weather phenomenon, say experts

Many parts of the world are likely to experience above-average temperatures over the next few months, even without a natural El Nino effect, according to weather experts.

The UN's World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said the signal from human-induced climate change was now as powerful as the natural phenomenon, which drives warmer temperatures.
