It’s official, the 2026 El Niño has broken a record for the highest ocean anomaly in 170+ years… Incredibly reaching that threshold a full 2 months ahead of 2015’s record of +3.02C set on Nov 18th. See that red line? That’s 2026. Every other bold line are the strongest El Niño’s on record. 1/

'You are looking at the strongest El Niño event on record. On Sept. 19, the key monitoring region in the Pacific Ocean reached 3.05°C above average, breaking the record from November 2015. There are still three months of strengthening to go.' Ben Noll [x]

Why Meghalaya's wettest towns are facing a growing drought risk
Meghalaya's Mawsynram and Cherrapunji, among the world's wettest places, are facing a growing risk of drought as climate change brings heavier spells of rain, fewer rainy days and rising temperatures, a new study has found. The study, published recently in Theoretical and Applied Climatology, examined projected climate and water-flow data for Meghalaya and adjoining areas for 1981-2100. It found that rainfall is becoming more concentrated in intense bursts, while light rain and the number of rainy days are falling, increasing the risk of moderate, severe and extreme drought, especially under the high-emission SSP585 scenario. Researchers Ashesh Rudra Paul and Pankaj Kumar Roy found that the Simple Daily Intensity Index, which measures the average rainfall on a wet day, showed a maximum local rise of 0.08 mm per day per year. At the same time, the number of rainy days declined by an average of 0.40 days per year. "Contrary to the conventional expectation that increased precipitation alleviates drought," the researchers said, the findings showed "a clear tendency toward elevated drought risk" in Meghalaya. The researchers said the changing rainfall pattern is particularly important for Meghalaya because of its steep terrain and shallow soils. Intense rain leads to rapid surface runoff...
