El Nino occurs when surface waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean warm unusually (PTI) Scientists are increasingly seeing early signals that El Nino conditions could develop in 2026, and possibly strengthen as the year progresses. According to recent reports, climate models suggest that the current La Nina phase in the Pacific Ocean is weakening, with ocean–atmosphere patterns shifting towards neutral conditions before potentially flipping to El Nino by mid-year. Forecasts from global weather agencies indicate roughly a 60 per cent chance of El Nino emerging between June and August, with the probability rising further toward the latter half of the year. What is worrying meteorologists is not just the possibility of El Nino itself, but how strong it could become. India is already seeing an intense summer.
