IndonesiaModels put El Niño’s peak at 4C, a record.

El Niño releases ocean heat, and September’s 2.84C anomaly in the central Pacific was the highest recorded.

“It may end up being the strongest El Niño event in the past millennium,” said Zeke Hausfather, Carbon Brief’s climate contributor.

10 of 14 models expect the peak in December, the rest in November.
