The preliminary Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperature for October 13 just broke 30°C for the third time, and is now 3.3°C above the 1991-2020 baseline.
This marks the 22nd consecutive daily temperature above the previous all-time record high of 29.815°C. set on Nov. 17, 2015.

Breaking News!
Code UFB!!!
For the first time in recorded history, the Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperature (SST) is above 30.0°C, reaching a preliminary SST of 30.06°C on October 5th.
The Niño 3.4 SST anomaly is now 3.41°C above the 1991-2020 baseline.
Everything is not fine.

The preliminary sea-surface temperature in the Nino 3.4 region just set a record 3.1°C above the 1991-2020 mean, but it's been very volatile. Best to wait for the 2-week window to pass.
Conjecture: hurricanes are upwelling cooler waters in the Pacific, contributing to rapid SST changes.

September? More like summer!
Temperatures will widely reach 20-22°C, with the warmest spots in the southeast seeing 23-25°C
Local highs of 26°C are possible, with an isolated 27°C not out of the question 🌡️

Following quality control checks, a manually operated weather station has been confirmed to have recorded 38.2°C on Thursday the 13th of August, making it the hottest day of 2026.
This exceeds the previous maximum temperature of 38.1°C recorded at Kew Gardens on the same day.

Ice loss on Konkordiaplatz, Great Aletsch Glacier, during summer 2026. No words...
A layer of almost 6 metres of ice is gone. In the center of the biggest glacier of the Alps. It is hard to grasp even for glaciologists.

A potential record El niño in the Pacific is causing records to be broken elsewhere.
No hurricanes have formed yet in the Atlantic in 2026 due to El niño-induced atmospheric conditions and none are expected to form soon.

For 30. år i træk har Grønlands indlandsis mistet mere is, end den har fået tilført. Det viser den seneste opgørelse over Indlandsisens totale massebalance fra GEUS.
30 år med samme nedadgående tendens understreger, at det er klimaforandringer.

El Niño’s ocean-atmosphere coupling is locked in, with a huge and persistent wave of rising air over the Pacific.
This generates a spider web-like response across the atmosphere that tugs at weather patterns worldwide, even in places thousands of miles away 🕸️

In our latest press release we take an early look at the July stats: just how dry has it been?

ALT A map of the UK for showing the total rainfall amount for the 1 - 30 July 2026 compared with the average for the full month. You would normally expect a total of around 97% of average at this point in the month, but the UK is currently tracking its third driest July on record with only 35% of average rainfall.

Last June saw much of western Europe experiencing a record-breaking heatwave and marine heatwaves across western Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. Global monthly mean sea-surface temperature, excluding the polar regions, exceeded the June 2024 record.

Den nye offisielle britiske varmerekorden for juni er justert til 37.7C etter at britiske Met Office har gått gjennom nye målinger som først ble tilgjengelige over helgen.
Den gamle rekorden på 35.6C fra 1957 og 1976 er dermed flyttet 2.1C.#heltvanligsommervær
