According to the latest data, there is now a 98% chance of El Niño emerging by August.
And by September 2026, the rise of a full-blown Super El Niño is now almost inevitable.
This kind of El Niño would see intensified heat waves, floods, droughts and shifts in monsoon and hurricane patterns all around the world.
Indeed, could a 2026 Super El Niño push our climate past the point of no return?
I'm James Stewart and you're watching Astrum Earth.
Join me today as we look at the mechanics of this climate engine.
We'll discuss why 2026 is becoming the perfect storm for a record-breaking event.
And we'll look at what a planet already pushed to the brink by climate change does when its largest natural cooling mechanism is replaced by a furnace.
I didn't expect to be making this video quite as quickly as I am to be honest with you.
Let me take you back a few months to a video I made about the weak La Nina we had in 2025 that went into 2026.
In fact it was so weak we suggested in that video that a Pacific flip was possible.
A kind of climate whiplash where after months of La Nina's coal pattern the Pacific would be primed to swing hot and bring on a sort of monster of an El Nino.
Now when I made that video, the chances of that actually happening were quite low, and we didn't know how hot things might get, if indeed they would at all.
But as it turns out, that prediction was bang on, and it's coming true, unfortunately, right in front of our eyes.
And things are escalating pretty quickly.
So here's a quick recap if you missed that video.
The El Niño Southern Oscillation, or ENSO, is a term used to describe a cycle of variations in the Pacific Ocean's surface temperatures and air pressure near the equator.
Normally, trade winds drive warm surface water from near South America, the Eastern Pacific, towards Asia.
As that warm water moves away from South America, cold water rises to replace it in a process called upwelling.
This situation is called ENSO neutral.
