Extreme weather warnings are being issued as intense heatwaves continue to grip several parts of the world, including the US, Japan, China, parts of Asia, and Europe. Per NOAA, one of the prime reasons for the soaring high temperatures is the naturally occurring weather phenomenon, El Nino. El Nino warms up the Pacific Ocean and this affects the weather across the world, contributing to the temperature increase.
