2026 Super El Niño could surpass the 1877 record

“The last time the tropical Pacific ran this hot, millions of people starved. The El Niño of 1877 triggered crop failures from India to Brazil and is considered one of the deadliest climate events in recorded history. Now, three of the world’s most authoritative climate forecasting centers are converging on a signal that has not appeared with this level of agreement in modern meteorology: a Super El Niño that could match or exceed that catastrophic benchmark before the end of 2026.”
Super El Niño could surpass the 1877 record — every major forecast model now shows 100% probability

Will Climate Change Terminate the United States?


“A developing El Niño could bring more than shifts in seasonal storm tracks as humanitarian officials are warning that a possibly strong event could disrupt food production, water supplies and fisheries in vulnerable regions around the world.”

“AccuWeather meteorologists say El Niño is expected to develop around the start of summer and could reach “super El Niño” status as early as October or November. Later in 2026 or around the start of 2027, it may rival some of the strongest El Niño events in history.” Super El Niño could strain food and water supplies around the world

What happened in 1877

“A historic super El Niño occurred from 1877 to 1878. A NOAA paper found that the 1877/78 super El Niño may have been one of the strongest such events on record.”

“According to The Week, this resulted in droughts and mass famine across the world. At least 50 million people were left dead – around three to four per cent of the world’s population – in the Great Drought.”
In 1877, a super El Niño killed millions. How deadly will it be this year?

I’ve been anticipating this El Niño since 2023, the time of consequences beckons.
