    “The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association [NOAA] updated its prediction for the El Niño, which is strengthening and now has a greater than 90% chance of a very strong event during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter 2026-27…
    Additionally, the NOAA revealed that during the October-December 2026 season, there is now a 69% chance of a historic event that would exceed the strength of previous El Niño events dating back to 1950. Historical records from the NOAA only date back to 1950, but other reports suggest this could be one of the strongest El Niños in history.
    This El Niño “is something that’s very unusual, if not a once in a lifetime type of (strength),” according to Nat Johnson, a meteorologist with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
    El Niño is a natural climate cycle marked by warmer than average water temperatures along the equator in the Pacific Ocean. The warmer water triggers corresponding shifts in the atmosphere that have a domino-like influence on weather patterns around the globe – usually in ways that are largely predictable well in advance…”
