Super El Niño may push global temps to +2°C
21/04/2026
NCAR climate models indicate the 2026 El Niño could be the strongest on record. NOAA estimates at least a 50% chance of a "strong" or "very strong" event during the upcoming Northern Hemisphere winter. Some models project global temperature anomalies exceeding +2°C above preindustrial levels — which would be the first time in recorded history.
