Retiring Guy is sticking a pin in this map

 
Will the northern tier of the United States stretching from Washington east to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan have warmer-than-average temperatures during the winter of 2026-27? 

What will be the actual impact of El Nino?

Stay tuned.

Map and headline:  CNN, 8/20/2026

Mary Gilbert reports:
El Niño is a natural climate cycle marked by warmer than average water temperatures along the equator in the Pacific Ocean. The warmer water triggers corresponding shifts in the atmosphere that have a domino-like influence on weather patterns around the globe – usually in ways that are largely predictable well in advance. 
The stronger an El Niño is, the more likely these expected weather patterns will play out. And this one could be going for gold.
