Natural changes in the climate are probably to blame for the unusual weather conditions in many parts of the world. In recent days there have been floods in Central Europe, parts of Russia, the Philippines, India and China.
The weather effect, which is known as El Nino, occurs every few years and causes warming of the Pacific Ocean near South America. It can have severe, destructive effects on rainfall.
However, some people say that El Nino hasn’t properly started yet and only affects the Southern Hemisphere. So there is no way it can explain the heavy rains in Europe.
Therefore, flooding in European countries, is not uncommon. Only a few years ago the River Oder on the Polish-German border caused huge amounts of damage. Natural changes in the weather are probably to blame, but human influence cannot be ruled out.
