EL NIÑO 1997 vs. 2026 — A STRIKING PACIFIC COMPARISON! 
This graphic compares the powerful 1997 El Niño with the developing 2026 event, highlighting similarities in unusually warm Pacific Ocean temperatures and widespread sea-surface temperature anomalies.
The comparison shows how the tropical Pacific is heating up across key Niño regions, raising attention among climate scientists as the 2026 El Niño continues to develop. While similarities with 1997 are notable, every El Niño event has its own evolution and impacts, and forecasts can change as new observations arrive.
A warming Pacific can influence weather patterns around the world — from rainfall and drought to heat and storm activity.
