In the period January to April, the world temperature was 0.68C above average, and temperature records have already been superseded in places such as Antarctica, Guinea, Ghana Venezuela and Laos.
Meanwhile, the El Nino that formed earlier in 2015 is starting to affect the tropics and India, warming up the Earth’s atmosphere.
And, while many of us in the UK might celebrate the arrival of warmer weather, the El Nino effect can cause everyone to experience much more bitter winters - something we definitely DON’T need.
What is El Nino?
El Nino is the warming of the Pacific Ocean, which happens when temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific are at least half a degree higher than normal for several months.
This causes a wave of warm water to be formed over several months and pushed back east.
Although no two El Ninos are the same, the predictions for this one is that places such as Australia, the Pacific Islands, India, Southern Africa and Central America will be much drier.
Meanwhile places such as Spain, the southern states of the US, and the east coast of South America will be significantly wetter than usual.
All of these situations can wreak havoc on local agriculture, livestock and homes.
