NASA is reported to be tracking a historic El Niño event in 2026 using its satellite fleet, with observations suggesting the event may rank among the strongest on record. The climate phenomenon, which warms Pacific Ocean waters and alters weather patterns worldwide, is being closely watched for its potential impacts on droughts, floods and global temperatures.

Why now: Concern about severe weather and climate change is driving attention to satellite evidence of an unusually strong El Niño.
