Nepal’s deadly flash floods spark new fears over global warming

Scientists are warning that a developing El Niño weather pattern could become one of the strongest in more than a century.

South Africa is bracing for a dry summer season with the El Niño peak expected to hit between October 2026 and January 2027. It's expected to bring an increased risk of heat waves and lower rainfall levels.

Meanwhile in another developing story, devastating floods along the Nepal-China border have killed hundreds, with fears of further flooding.

As extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, how much of this can be linked to climate change and what should we expect in the months ahead?

To discuss this we're joined by Professor Francois Engelbrecht, Director of the Global Change Institute at Wits University.
