Super El Niño forecast could drive Florida winter rain
By The BriefBrief
NOAA forecasts a strengthening El Niño centered over the central and eastern Pacific, with about a 70% chance it reaches historic strength during October–December. If it does, forecasters will face an unusual challenge because no modern event matches its projected scale, and models favor a wetter winter pattern for Florida.
WHO: NOAA; climate model forecasters
WHAT: A forecasted, potentially historic-strength El Niño is expected to shape Florida’s winter weather, with models favoring wetter conditions.
WHEN: Reported Aug 24, 2026 at 12:51 PM ET
WHERE: FL
WHY: NOAA forecasts the strengthening El Niño event will reach historic strength, which climate models indicate will shift Florida’s winter weather toward a wetter pattern.
