"'Climate models are now strongly aligned, and there is high confidence in the onset of El Niño, followed by further intensification in the months that follow. Models indicate that this may be a strong event.'"
"'During the El Niño part of the cycle, warm waters that build up in the Pacific spread out and raise the Earth's average surface temperature. This heat ends up escaping into the atmosphere, raising the planet's temperature for months.'"
"'Current measurements show that sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific are rising faster than at any other time this century.'"
Scientists warn of a potential 'super El Niño' that may push global temperatures to record highs. The World Meteorological Organisation indicates strong El Niño conditions could return soon, with current sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific rising rapidly. Climate models show high confidence in the onset and intensification of this event. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation, a natural climate cycle, raises Earth's average surface temperature during El Niño phases. Predictions suggest 2026 may see one of the strongest El Niño patterns recorded.
