sea surface temperatures in the niño 3.4 region have exceeded the +2.0°c threshold for a super el niño, a month earlier than previous benchmark events.
The current El Niño event has reached 'super El Niño' status, exceeding the +2.0°C threshold in the Niño 3.4 region over a month earlier than previous benchmark events. Meteorological models indicate a 90% probability that this developing El Niño will become the strongest in 150 years, increasing the likelihood of a record-warm 2026 and driving global temperature anomalies. While expected to suppress Caribbean hurricane intensity, the precise global and regional impacts remain subject to variance.
