PARIS, France, July 7, 2026 (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."
