El Niño Could Be One of the Strongest on Record, ECMWF Signals
TL;DR
Forecasters say this year’s El Niño could become one of the strongest on record, with ECMWF data showing central Pacific temperatures potentially 3°C above average by year’s end. If confirmed, it could approach or surpass the 1877 and 2015 records and potentially exceed the threshold for a super El Niño. NOAA also expects a strong El Niño to form by July, with a notable chance that 2027 could be the warmest year on record, signaling widespread global impacts on climate, agriculture, water, and economies through late this year and beyond.
