Satellites track El Niño start
The El Niño phenomenon returned in June 2026, with surface water temperatures rising in parts of the tropical Pacific Ocean, leading to a rise in sea levels across broad areas of the central and eastern regions, according to satellite measurements. Early indicators of the phenomenon begin to appear in spring as warm Kelvin waves move eastward due to weakened trade winds. The current conditions resemble parts of the general situation in 1997, with expectations of increasing El Niño strength as Kelvin waves continue in the coming weeks.
