August 2026 was the hottest month ever recorded, according to Copernicus data, highlighting the impacts of climate change and El Niño on global temperatures.
The World Meteorological Organization has issued an unprecedented forecast for a 'supersized' El Niño in 2026, with nearly 100% certainty of its persistence, potentially making it the strongest on record and causing global extreme weather and record temperatures.
A study reconstructs El Niño's history over the past millennium using fossilized coral records, revealing that recent events are stronger than any in the last 1,000 years due to global warming.
Scientists have recorded the highest-ever global average sea-surface temperature, driven by climate change and a powerful El Niño, raising concerns about marine ecosystems and extreme weather events.
Research based on coral records suggests that climate change is strengthening El Niño events.
The world's oceans have reached their highest recorded average surface temperature, surpassing previous records due to human-caused climate change and the growing El Niño phenomenon, raising concerns about extreme weather and marine life impacts.
The article discusses how the strong El Niño may bring temporary relief to the Western US water crisis but cautions it won't solve long-term problems like the Colorado River drought and political disputes over water allocation.
El Niño and Saharan dust are suppressing Atlantic hurricane activity, leading to one of the quietest seasons in years due to unfavorable conditions.
Super El Niño is rapidly strengthening with forecasts reaching record levels for winter 2026/2027, significantly impacting weather patterns in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
A newsletter roundup covering how kids aged 10-18 feel about AI, scientists creating female clones of male mice via CRISPR, and the role of El Niño in this summer's extreme heat.
An explainer on the causes of this summer's extreme heat, the role of climate change, and how a strong El Niño could make 2027 even worse.
The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be below normal due to a rapidly strengthening El Niño, with forecasters predicting fewer named storms and hurricanes.
Paul Graham highlights the alarming smooth consistency of global temperature rise, comparing it to startup growth, referencing Zeke Hausfather's projections for record-breaking temperatures in 2026-2027 due to El Niño.
A deep learning CNN model from Seoul National University forecast a very strong El Niño months ahead of NOAA's physics-based models, and has been validated as the models converged. The AI also predicts a La Niña flip in 2028, far beyond traditional forecast horizons.
Article reports on record-breaking heat waves across Europe, the US, and Asia, driven by El Niño, unusually warm oceans, and climate change, with warnings from climate scientists.
A new study suggests that marine cloud brightening, a form of solar geoengineering, could help moderate strong El Niño events and reduce their global impacts.
The U.S. decision to pull ocean sensors is a shock to Canadian researchers as El Niño approaches, potentially disrupting critical climate monitoring.
NOAA predicts a below-average 2026 Atlantic hurricane season due to El Niño, but warns that even quiet years can produce catastrophic storms. The agency is deploying AI weather models developed with Google DeepMind to improve hurricane track predictions.
