BRITAIN'S bonkers weather could get even more chaotic - with month-long blizzards and 21C heat in February.

Forecasters warn the El Nino effect means we could be battling severe thunderstorms or even tornadoes.

The phenomenon occurs every few years when the Pacific Ocean heats up more than usual and raises global temperatures.

And experts say this will dramatically affect the UK in the coming months as the heat starts to aggravate nearby weather systems.

As a result, we are heading into a "different world" where "chaotic rences" are more likely.
