(BSS/AFP) - The current El Nino is likely to become the strongest on record, a top expert said Tuesday, raising concerns about droughts, floods and other extremes linked to the event.
Forecast models are pointing to an "extreme" event, said Tim Stockdale, an El Nino expert at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), adding: "I would expect it to break records, but no guarantees."
