Warning of record global temperatures as chance of very strong El Niño grows

The WMO reports a high confidence in the onset of El Niño conditions from mid-2026, which are expected to impact global temperature and rainfall patterns.

The likelihood of a strong El Niño developing in the coming months is increasing, raising concerns about global crop supplies, altered storm patterns, and record-high temperatures.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts the development of a strong El Niño by June, with potential to become a record-breaking event impacting global weather patterns.

Experts predict a powerful El Niño event this year, potentially making 2026 the second-warmest year on record, with global temperatures expected to rise throughout the year.

AccuWeather meteorologists report that El Niño is likely to develop soon, with increasing chances of it becoming a rare 'super El Niño' that could rival the strongest in history.

Ocean surface temperatures in April approached record highs, signaling a possible emergence of a 'super' El Niño, which could lead to significant global temperature increases and extreme weather events.
