With all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C).

The 2026/2027 El Niño event has already grown faster than any prior events (at least on an ONI basis). Here its observed and projected future evolution compared to the strongest prior El Niño events in recorded history.
