The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said an El Nifio forming in the
Pacific will add about 0.1–0.2°C to global temperatures, leaving readings
anomalously high for the remainder of this year and into early 2027. In a
climate status report released Monday, the WMO said this year is likely to be
among the hottest on record; January–September global temperatures averaged
1.47°C (2.65°F) above pre-industrial levels.
