and anomalies of about 3 degrees (up to ~3.8 degrees) are forecast for the central tropical Pacific during the coming winter, likely to be an El Nino to remember charts.ecmwf.int/permalinks/n...

Compare this with historical observations of SST anomalies for the Nino 3.4 region and we can see that we will experience an historic El Nino event towards the end of 2026
Projected Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies (or departure from normal) in the central Pacific (El Nino Region 3.4) are about 3 degrees C
