El Niño strength forecast 2026-2027 (news) — NOAA's Climate Prediction Center reports that El Niño strengthened further in September 2026, with Niño-3.4 at +2.1°C and Niño-1+2 at +3.9°C. The official outlook calls for a strong-to-very strong El…
SPEAR El Niño seasonal forecast (news) (needs verification) — NOAA GFDL's October 2026 experimental SPEAR forecast indicates the current El Niño is nearing its peak and will weaken by early winter, with a transition to ENSO-neutral expected in spring or early…
El Niño-driven heat mortality (news) — A Climate Impact Lab report estimates that El Niño-driven heat between June 2026 and February 2027 could cause up to 451,000 extra heat-related deaths worldwide compared with a typical year. The…
Coral bleaching heat stress forecasting (news) (needs verification) — NOAA's Coral Reef Watch publishes an experimental weekly Four-Month Coral Bleaching Outlook, version 5.0, released publicly on March 27, 2018, that forecasts coral bleaching heat stress up to four…
2026 Atlantic hurricane season outlook (news) (needs verification) — NOAA's Climate Prediction Center updated its 2026 Atlantic hurricane outlook, calling for a below-normal season with a 75% probability, a 20% chance of near-normal activity, and a 5% chance of…
2026 Atlantic hurricane season (news) (needs verification) — Isaias became the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2026 season, with winds of 80mph, and is forecast to strengthen to Category 2 and make landfall on the northern Gulf coast. The season has been…
Hurricane Isaias Gulf Coast landfall (news) — Hurricane Isaias strengthened as it approached the US Gulf Coast, with forecasters expecting it to reach near Category 3 strength before landfall in Alabama and Florida's panhandle region late Friday…
Tropical Storm Gonzalo forecast (news) (needs verification) — The US National Hurricane Center reported that Tropical Storm Gonzalo, about 140 miles east-southeast of the southernmost Cabo Verde islands, is expected to strengthen before a gradual weakening…
2026 Atlantic hurricane season outlook (news) (needs verification) — NOAA maintained its prediction for a below-normal 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, forecasting 7-13 named storms, 2-6 hurricanes, and 0-2 major hurricanes, with a 75% chance of below-normal activity.…
Record ocean heat absorption (news) (needs verification) — A Copernicus ocean state report found that the world's seas absorbed a record 23 zettajoules of heat in 2025, nearly 40 times humanity's total annual energy use. The report links this ocean warming…
El Niño strengthening and record Pacific temperatures (news) — The World Meteorological Organization forecasts that sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific will reach record levels in October-December 2026 as El Niño strengthens. WMO…
Overshoot above 1.5°C warming (news) — A UNEP report warns that global temperature rise is likely to cross 1.5°C within the next few years, with the most optimistic scenario peaking at 1.8°C. It identifies an 'overshoot, peak and decline'…
Record greenhouse gas concentrations and El Niño (news) (needs verification) — No article text was provided, so this rests only on the URL headline. It indicates the UN weather agency (WMO) reports greenhouse gas concentrations at record highs and expects further increases with…
Global ocean heat and salinity data (reference) (needs verification) — This NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information page provides quarterly-updated global ocean datasets covering temperature and salinity observations, anomalies, and heat content for depths…
California dairy methane emissions dataset (reference) (needs verification) — This NASA Earthdata record provides 2019 estimates of methane (CH4) emissions from California dairies at roughly 10 km x 10 km resolution, split into enteric fermentation and manure management, in…
ENSO long-lead forecast skill (study) (needs verification) — This study shows that the ENSO phase at the time a forecast is issued strongly affects its skill, and that this effect exceeds differences between models. Forecasts initialized during La Niña…
Mixed-type El Niño decomposition and projection (study) — This study uses a binary combined linear regression based on E- and C-indices to decompose El Niño events into Eastern Pacific and Central Pacific components. It finds that strong El Niño events are…
Ocean acidification and phytoplankton phosphorus metabolism (study) — Multi-omics analysis of more than 1,000 generations of experimental diatom evolution shows that elevated CO2 produced heritable growth and carbon fixation gains, while acidification-driven declines…
