"Dr. Jansen and his co-authors write in a blog post: 'That margin is wide enough that we are willing to make the prediction that 2026 will be the warmest year. Of course, 2027 will be still hotter.'"
"Currently, global warming is being held in check by a cooling La Niña pattern that is making 2026 a little bit less hot than previous years. Compared to 2024, the first three months of this year have been about 0.1°C (0.18°F) cooler on average."
A super El Niño event is expected to begin in the latter half of the year, potentially making 2026 the hottest year recorded. Scientists predict that this event, combined with human-caused climate change, could result in temperatures 0.06°C hotter than those in 2024. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation, which alternates between warm El Niño and cool La Niña phases, influences global temperatures. Currently, a cooling La Niña is moderating temperatures, but predictions indicate a significant warming trend ahead.
