00:00The current El Nino has already broken previous records and still has weeks to peak.
00:05Experts from the U.S. NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory say it could disrupt the polar vortex,
00:10which means a colder winter may be ahead.
00:13The polar vortex is a ring of cold winds above the Arctic linked to the jet stream,
00:17and El Nino tends to weaken it, especially in late winter.
00:21The UK Met Office explains this can increase sudden stratospheric warming events,
00:25raising the chance of cold weather.
00:27But they also stress El Nino alone doesn't determine exact weather outcomes.
00:32With energy costs rising, many homes could feel the strain this winter.
00:36Simple steps like checking for drafts, insulating pipes, and bleeding radiators can help keep bills down.
00:43Thick curtains and extra rugs trap warm air.
00:46While setting the thermostat between 18 and 21 degrees, Celsius improves efficiency.
00:51These measures could ease the pinch if the cold weather arrives.
