"The world is likely to experience the warmest year on record in 2007,
the UK's Met Office has forecast.

An extended warming period, resulting from an El Nino weather event in the
Pacific Ocean, is likely to push up global temperatures, experts predict.

They say there is a 60% chance that the average surface temperature will
match or exceed the current record from 1998.

The forecasters also revealed that 2006 saw the highest average temperature
in the UK since records began in 1914.

The global surface temperature is projected to be 0.54C (0.97F) above the
long-term average of 14C (57C), beating the current record of 0.52C
(0.94F), which was set in 1998. "
