El Niño could briefly push global temperatures past 2°C threshold by 2027

A strong El Niño event could temporarily push monthly global average temperatures more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time in recorded history, according to research from the University of Miami.

Forecasts indicate a 35% to 40% probability that a single month in early 2027 will breach this critical climate milestone. Researchers emphasize that while such a spike would be short-lived, it underscores the compounded impact of natural weather phenomena and human-driven climate change on global weather systems.
