Super El Niño projected to peak in weeks, potentially among strongest on record

Equatorial Pacific sea-surface temperatures are already +3°C above normal, and 22 models project continued strengthening, indicating a potential 'Super El Niño' event. If realized, this would rank among the most intense on record, with likely global impacts on weather patterns, agriculture, and energy demand. The forecast is based on model consensus, but actual intensity and impacts remain uncertain until the event peaks.
