El Nino is making the Pacific 'burn with fever', triggering typhoon after typhoon in East Asia

Extremely powerful and unpredictable storms have battered East Asia in recent months due to the record-breaking El Niño weather phenomenon. Typhoons from the Philippines to Japan have claimed dozens of lives, paralysed transport and caused severe damage to agriculture, while the surface temperature of the Pacific Ocean has risen to unprecedented levels, the BBC reported.
