At the same time, the area of Antarctic sea ice has hit an all-time low since satellite observations began.

This creates conditions for possible soaring global temperatures and destructive weather and climate patterns.

A new bulletin from the World Meteorological Organization predicts that there is a 90% chance that El Ni ñ o will continue in the second half of this year, which is expected to be at least "medium intensity." Professor Petri Tlass, secretary-general, said: "the emergence of El Ni ñ o will greatly increase the possibility of breaking temperature records and may lead to more extreme high temperatures in many parts of the world and oceans."
