According to top climate and weather body of Britain, global warming as a result of human activities is all set to lead to exceptionally high average temperatures in 2015 and 2016. It says natural weather phenomena like El Nino would add to it.

According to Rowan Sutton of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science that played a role in a Met Office report that was released recently, "It looks very likely that globally 2014, 2015 and 2016 will all be amongst the very warmest years ever recorded. We are seeing the effects of energy steadily accumulating in the Earth's oceans and atmosphere, caused by greenhouse gas emissions".

Global temperatures are rising at a rate that is on track of increasing in the future, according to the report. However, according to some scientists, no major slowdown was there, so the calculations could not be accurate.

In the report from Britain's Met Office, entitled ‘Big changes under way in the climate system?’, present transitions in major weather patterns that have an effect on rainfall and temperatures at a regional level have been mentioned.

According to the report, an El Nino weather pattern which is centered in the tropical Pacific Ocean is in progress and preparing to be the one of the most intense that has been recorded yet. In 1997 and 1982 also, exceptionally strong El Ninos occurred.

El Ninos also have an effect on tropical storms and their intensity is less in the North Atlantic and more in the West Pacific, where they are called typhoons.
