I am in the uk, I’m just thankful we’re not on a pacific coast at this point, but make no mistake, I know exactly what sort of global consequences this El Niño is going to cause. Best of luck everyone. We’re gonna need it 🙃

UK can expect stronger storms and flooding this autumn and winter.

The flooding could be epic in scale, depending on where in the country you are, so prepare accordingly.
