""There is a strong consensus about the possibility of evolution of an El Niño event during the summer monsoon season,"" said D.S. Pai, the lead forecaster of the Indian weather office, when releasing the consensus forecast of the South Asian Climate Outlook Forum - a group of global weather experts affiliated to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).
