Original: Tracking the 2026 El Niño from the Open Ocean to the Coast
NASA is monitoring conditions for a possible El Niño event in 2026, following the climate pattern's development from the open ocean through to coastal regions. Satellite data is being used to track sea surface temperatures and ocean changes that could signal the arrival of the phenomenon, which can drive shifts in global weather.
Why now: El Niño events can significantly affect global weather, so early monitoring by NASA draws wide public and scientific interest.
