Super El Niño intensifies, threatening global health and ag

Overview

The 2026–27 Super El Niño is intensifying, with projections from the ECMWF suggesting that by early October 2026, sea surface temperatures in the Niño 1+2 region could reach 5.64°C above average. NOAA indicates a greater than 90 percent probability of a ‘very strong’ El Niño during the 2026/27 winter. This intensification coincides with a massive marine heatwave, with global sea surface temperatures reaching a historical maximum of 21.1°C in August 2026.

Commodity markets are experiencing significant volatility. Arabica coffee prices recently reached a six-and-a-half-month high due to delays in the 2026-2027 Brazilian harvest, while cocoa prices rose above $6,300 per ton in early September following flooding in Ghana and Ivory Coast.

In response to the expected persistence of the phenomenon through February 2027, South American nations are ramping up preparedness. In Argentina, municipalities are coordinating emergency response plans and cleaning drainage systems, while a collective environmental injunction in Córdoba seeks to mandate hydraulic infrastructure works. Colombia has established a roadmap to manage risks related to water shortages, energy generation, and forest fires, with the UNGRD allocating $38,900 million to strengthen operational capacities. In Chile, the government is hiring approximately 10,000 workers through Conaf to prepare for a complex summer wildfire season. Meanwhile, Uruguay is coordinating contingency funds and preventive works with local mayors.

Research utilizing Galápagos Islands coral samples indicates that El Niño events are currently stronger than at any point in the last thousand years, potentially 40 percent stronger than pre-industrial levels due to anthropogenic climate change. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has described the event as ‘oversized,’ warning that the planet is entering ‘uncharted territory.’

Claims

What the coverage asserts, and how many sources carry each claim.

Coverage disagrees

Sources make claims that cannot both be true. CLSTR reports the disagreement; it does not decide who is right.

"The probability of a very strong El Niño (exceeding 2°C) between October and December has increased to 95%."

vs

"The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts an 81% chance of a very strong El Niño during October‑December 2024."

One claim asserts a 95% probability of a very strong El Niño, while the other asserts an 81% chance.

[DISPUTED] The probability of a very strong El Niño (exceeding 2°C) between October and December has increased to 95%.
