Is it global warning yet?

Thousands of people have been evacuated from along Pakistan's Arabian Sea coast to escape a cyclone which is bringing more chaos to the south of the country.
Heavy rain in Pakistan's biggest city in recent days has left at least 200 dead. Reports of damage to coastal areas near Karachi are still coming in.

The Environment Agency labelled current weather conditions were "phenomenal".

The agency's flood expert, Phil Rothwell, said: "We've had a sixth of the annual rainfall in 12 hours.

"Climate change experts tell us that this is the sort of thing we need to expect for the future."
