'Jaw Dropping' El Niño just hit +3°C The 'real' 3 monthly figure (currently +1.4°C) usually sits a good 0.5°C lower at the peak. Will the rises continue? SNU forecast (predicted Super El Niño months before NOAA) has the peak at lower than record levels. More ... 4billionyearson.org/climate/enso

An AI model forecast this El Niño as very strong back in April; NOAA's physics plume has since climbed to cross it. Two methods converging. On RONI, warming stripped out, it isn't clear record territory. The AI now flips it to a La Niña in 2027. 4billionyearson.org/posts/the-20...

El Niño 2026: How Strong, and the La Niña That Follows

A very strong El Niño is coming, but physics and AI forecasts agree it isn't a clear record on NOAA's RONI index. The signal, the warming, and the 2027 La Niña.

2026 (Jan-Jun) = UK's hottest first half on record. Yet every month has had less sunshine than 2025, the sunniest year ever. Temp and sunshine have decoupled. I is nighttime warming? Change in weather patterns? Chart + more: 4billionyearson.org/climate/uk #UKWeather #ClimateChange

Two radial charts comparing UK monthly temperature and sunshine in 2026 against the 1961-1990 baseline and 2025 (the hottest and sunniest year on record, shown as a white ring). 2026's temperature line tracks close to or above the 2025 ring, while its sunshine line sits well below it, indicating 2026 has been hotter than 2025 despite less sunshine.

#1 of 234 countries in warm anomaly. That's a framing I haven't seen before, have you? Icelanders also held a wake for a vanished glacier and recognized AMOC collapse as the official national security issue it deserves to be in all states. But 2024 pc CO2 emissions were 25t 🤯 Even higher than 2012 🙈

The Pacific is loading up again. El Niño is now 93% likely by autumn 2026, and it's arriving on a world already 1.3°C above the pre-industrial baseline. Last time we got a strong one (2023-24), it made 2024 the first year above 1.5°C. A thread 🧵

Chart showing NOAA's ENSO forecast: currently neutral, El Niño probability rises to 93% by autumn 2026 with a projected peak of +2.1°C. This is comparable to the record 2023-24 event.
