Climate upset

5 July 1997

El Ni帽o is set to disrupt the world鈥檚 weather again. This year鈥檚
reversal of Pacific equatorial currents has raised sea surface temperatures near
the shores of South America by 5 掳C. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration says this is the highest since the huge El Ni帽o of
1982-83, which disrupted climate around the world, triggering drought and
massive bush fires in Australia and Indonesia.
