The latest meteorological data confirms what climatologists feared: an extremely strong El Niño phenomenon is developing. It is not just a theoretical threat – the first changes in the global circulation of the atmosphere are already being observed by scientists in the June forecasts for the USA and Canada. The world must therefore prepare for the so-called “Super El Niño”, which can significantly rewrite the summer weather map, reports a specialized website.

The 2026 summer season is entering a critical phase. The Pacific Ocean is waking up and massive warming is occurring in its equatorial region. According to the latest analyses, this development overcomes even the strongest historical extremes. If the predictions come true, the anomalies could peak in the fall and match the strongest events of this kind in history. However, we will feel the first major impacts on the weather already this summer.
The influence of the warming ocean has already “broken through” into the atmosphere. June forecasts from the European ECMWF model show clear signs that El Niño is taking over. The observations bear a striking resemblance to data from the previous four past “Super El Niño” events. What does this mean in practice? Extreme fluctuations in pressure and temperatures that will change established summer stereotypes.
The combination of historical data and current models gives us a fairly clear picture of what this summer will look like in North America. The west and the center of the territory will be in the grip of heat. A strong high pressure system will settle over the northern states of the USA and western Canada. In practice, this means the rapid onset of summer heat waves, the so-called thermal domes and the risk of significant drought.
On the contrary, eastern Canada and the US east coast will find themselves under the influence of pressure below. They are expected here temperatures at the level of average, sometimes even below average, accompanied by colder flow from the north. A strengthening jet stream from the Pacific will bring increased precipitation to the southern parts of the United Statesespecially to the Florida area. On the contrary, The Midwest will likely suffer from a lack of moisture.
The analysts’ conclusion is clear. El Niño in 2026 is poised to completely dominate the summer atmosphere. The agreement of historical data from extreme years with current forecasts is a clear signal for meteorologists that an extraordinary event with global impact is approaching.
