Global temperatures will rise to their highest levels ever recorded this year, according to scientists at the Met Office (Editor's note: "Met" is short for "meteorological".). They believe there is a 60% chance that 2007 temperatures will top the previous hottest year, 1998.

The forecast follows news that the U.K. experienced the warmest year on record in 2006, with an average temperature of 9.7 Celsius - 1.1 degrees celsius above average. The duration of sunshine over the country was 13% higher than average.

The scorching predictions for 2007 are due partly to global warming and partly to a moderate El Nino event. This is a climatic phenomenon focused on the tropical eastern Pacific that affects climate globally and leads to higher temperatures.

The previous hottest year, 1998, was also a strong El Nino year with a global average temperature of 14.52 Celsius. The U.K.'s Met Office is predicting that this year will be 0.02 degrees higher.
