Record-Setting El Niño Could Redefine 2026 Weather
TL;DR Summary
Models warn of a rare, possibly record-breaking El Niño this summer that could be the strongest since 1877–78, with sea-surface temperatures about 3°C above average by December. If it materializes, New England could see a near-record warm, more humid summer with wetter conditions and more coastal storms, followed by a wetter fall/winter and less snow; the Atlantic hurricane season may be quieter.
