A record-breaking El Niño event may disrupt the polar vortex, leading to a colder winter in Britain and parts of Europe. Research from NOAA’s Chemical Sciences Laboratory finds El Niño tends to weaken the polar vortex in late winter, raising cold weather chances. The Met Office notes this disruption could increase Sudden Stratospheric Warming events but stresses other outcomes are possible. As energy costs rise, households might face challenges heating their homes this winter. Experts advise steps like sealing draughts and insulating pipes to improve warmth and efficiency.

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.
