My sister just had a soundbite in a spot about ENSO (El Niño) on NPR All Things Considered.
She did some of the foundational research on ENSO & paleoclimate using coral which is what everyone is referencing now to say that this year is the worst in forever.

Seeing the beautiful and still impressive Norwegian glaciers, it's sad to know they're rapidly retreating. One sign said "If we manage to keep global warming below 1.5°C, around 25-30% of the glaciers can be preserved."

The continued warm weather has now brought 2026 to the #1 spot on the list of warmest years-to-date in the Netherlands (at main met station De Bilt).

This is by far the warmest extended summer (June-September) on record for the Netherlands: September is turning into another summer month with an average temperature of 16.7°C (above the already warmed 1991-2020 average for June!).
The 4-month average of ~18.65°C is over 0.3°C higher than in 2006.

The Rhine is in uncharted territory. Normal flow where it enters the Netherlands is around 1,500 m³/s in September. Now it's well below 600 m³/s... and still going down.

In the Netherlands, the 2026 summer drought just isn't over yet. Precipitation deficit (evaporation minus rainfall) is going up again in a warm and dry September week, ending the season in the top 5% of driest years on record. At the end of the month, the deficit will be ~3 times higher than in a median year.

The water flow in the Rhine keeps plummeting. It had never been below 780 m³/s in summer. When we were at 650, an expert told us it couldn't go much lower. Now we're at 572 m³/s, the lowest on record, even below the ice blocked flow in the winter of 1929.
