This week, three category 4 hurricanes - Kilo, Ignacio and Jimena are surging the Pacific. This weather condition is caused by the on-going El Niño - bringing intense drought in Asia and South Africa, while flooding some parts of North America and North Africa.

Plaguing opposite weather conditions in different parts of the world, the World Meteorological Organization reports the current El Niño phenomenon is among the strongest on the record - since its worst occurrence in 1997-98, and terrible conditions 1982-83 and 1972-73.

"Compared to the last major El Niño event in 1997-1998, there is much more information available," said Maxx Dilley of WMO. "We have better models and are much more prepared."

WMO El Niño expert Rupa Kumar Kolli adds this weather patterns are "kind of early warning information we can extract from the El Nino signal and it helps policy makers to prepare."

"Models and expert opinion suggest that surface water temperatures in the east-central tropical Pacific Ocean are likely to exceed 2C above average, potentially placing this El Nino event among the four strongest events since 1950," WMO released in a statement.

According to National Geographic, this is the first time that the north-eastern part of the Pacific has seen with three strong cyclones at the same time.

"It's a band of thunderstorms that sits not too far from the equator called the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone," said U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration atmospheric research scientist, Jim Kossin. "They're like kids from the same parent."

According to Live Science, these storms range from 130 to 156 mph (209 to 251 km/h), a threatening amount of strength powerful enough to uproot trees and cause horrible damages.

BBC reports these weather patterns will continue to alter due to the warming of the ocean over the next six to eight months.
