Scientists describe a 'super El Niño' now bursting through global temperature records, with the climate phenomenon expected to keep intensifying in the months before it reaches its peak. The Guardian reports the strength of the event has stunned researchers, raising fresh concern about extreme weather, heatwaves and warming impacts worldwide as forecasters monitor its trajectory.
- 2El Niño reaches strongest level ever recorded▼New data shows El Niño is strongest ever with major shift in global weather patterns | BBC News
New data shows the current El Niño is the strongest ever measured, driving a major shift in global weather patterns. The warming of Pacific Ocean surface waters is expected to bring droughts, floods and heatwaves to different regions worldwide. Scientists and news outlets are watching closely as the event intensifies, with forecasters warning of record temperatures and disruption to agriculture and weather systems into the coming months.
- 3Hurricane Polo among strongest storms ever, fueled by El Niño●Hurricane Polo now among "strongest storms ever" fueled by El Niño
Hurricane Polo in the eastern Pacific has intensified to a strength that places it among the strongest storms on record, with forecasters attributing its rapid growth to the El Niño pattern warming ocean waters. El Niño years typically bring more intense Pacific hurricanes, and Polo is being cited as a striking example of how the current cycle is powering exceptionally dangerous storms.
- 4Polar vortex returns: what it means for winter●The polar vortex is returning. What's its role for winter?
Coverage is focusing on the return of the polar vortex, the band of cold air circling the Arctic, and its influence on the coming winter. When the vortex weakens or shifts, frigid air can spill into Europe and North America, driving cold snaps and storms. Meteorologists are weighing how its behavior could shape seasonal forecasts.
- 5Tropical Storm Hanna forms in central Atlantic●Tropical Storm Hanna forms in central subtropical Atlantic, NHC says
Tropical Storm Hanna has formed in the central subtropical Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system is being tracked as the latest named storm of the season, with forecasters monitoring its strength and path. Details on potential impacts to land have not yet been released.
- 6California declares statewide emergency ahead of strong El Niño●State of emergency declared for all of California ahead of strong El Niño forecast
California has declared a state of emergency for the entire state ahead of a forecast strong El Niño, which is expected to bring heavy rain, flooding and severe storms in the coming months. The move allows state agencies to pre-position resources and respond quickly as the weather pattern intensifies.
- 7Two hurricanes churn simultaneously in the Pacific Ocean●Two hurricanes churning in the Pacific Ocean
Two hurricanes are active at the same time in the Pacific Ocean, according to coverage from KING 5 and other outlets. Forecasters are tracking both storms' paths and potential threats to shipping, coastal areas and island communities. Dual Pacific hurricanes are drawing attention because concurrent systems can strain emergency preparedness and complicate forecasting.

Tropical Storm Rachel is being tracked on weather maps, with forecasters monitoring its projected path and potential impact. The New York Times has published tracking maps showing the storm's movement. As with any active tropical system, attention is on where Rachel is heading and which coastal areas could face rain, wind, or flooding in the coming days.

Tropical Storm Hanna has formed in the Atlantic while Tropical Storm Fay is losing strength, according to a First Alert weather update from WIS News 10. Hanna's formation marks another named system in an active storm season, and forecasters are tracking both systems for potential impacts to coastal areas as conditions evolve.

Tropical Storm Hanna has formed, according to tracking coverage of the Atlantic tropics. The storm's development puts forecasters and residents on alert as they monitor its projected path and potential coastal impacts. Coverage focuses on tracking Hanna's movement and what conditions may follow as the tropical season progresses.
- 11DeepMind Hurricane Model Gives an Extra Day of Warning●Google DeepMind's Hurricane Forecast Model Provides a Whole Extra Day of Warning https://gizmodo.com/google-deepminds-hu
Google DeepMind's AI-based hurricane forecasting model can now deliver roughly a full extra day of advance warning compared with traditional forecasting methods, according to a report by Gizmodo. The improvement could give coastal communities and emergency services significantly more time to prepare for landfalling storms. It adds to a growing body of work showing AI weather models matching or beating conventional physics-based forecasts.
- 12Hurricane Polo's track puts Southern California on alert●Tracking Hurricane Polo: What the storm's trajectory means for SoCal
Hurricane Polo is being tracked off the Pacific, with forecasters in Southern California watching its trajectory for possible impacts on the region. Attention is focused on whether the storm's path could bring rain, surf or coastal effects to the area, as coverage explains what the storm's movement means for SoCal.
- 13Heavy water isotopes improve weather forecast accuracy●Heavy water isotopes make weather predictions more accurate
Researchers report that isotopes of heavy water can be used to make weather predictions more accurate. The finding suggests that tracking isotopic signatures in water vapour offers a new way to refine meteorological models. Physicists and weather scientists are weighing how quickly such isotope-based measurements could be incorporated into operational forecasting.
- 14Nor'easter Weakens but Still Threatens New York and New Jersey●Nor'easter Weakens but Remains a Threat https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/well/noreaster-storm-new-jersey-new-york-weat
A nor'easter affecting the New York and New Jersey area has weakened, but forecasters warn the storm still poses a threat, with continued weather impacts expected across the region. Coverage focuses on the latest forecast and what residents should watch for as conditions evolve.
- 15NYC nor'easter passes with only minor flooding●NYC nor'easter dries up after weather service reports minor flooding https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-noreaster-dries-up-a
A nor'easter that swept through New York City has weakened, with the National Weather Service reporting only minor coastal flooding across the area. The storm brought rain and wind but fell short of the more severe impacts forecasters had warned about, and conditions are drying out as the system moves away from the region.
