A rapidly strengthening El Niño, with Niño-3.4 sea surface temperature anomalies already exceeding +2°C and forecasts pointing toward a potential record peak near +3.5–4°C by late 2026, is the dominant driver elevating global temperatures this September. Positive Indian Ocean Dipole conditions and persistently high ocean heat content further support above-normal warmth, consistent with 2026 tracking as one of the warmest years on record. Trader odds clustered tightly around 1.35–1.49°C anomalies reflect genuine uncertainty in the exact monthly value, arising from variability in atmospheric responses, regional weather patterns, and the typical lag between Pacific warming and global-mean impacts. Updated ENSO diagnostics due mid-September and preliminary global temperature analyses will provide key data for refining these market-implied probabilities.

An anomaly within a named bracket for September 2026 is necessary and sufficient to resolve this market immediately once the data becomes available, regardless of whether the figure for September 2026 is later revised.
The brackets are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive: each range is inclusive of both of its stated endpoints, and the reported anomaly (to the nearest 0.01ºC) falls within exactly one bracket.
The primary resolution source for this market will be the figure found in the table titled "GLOBAL Land-Ocean Temperature Index in 0.01 degrees Celsius" under the column "Sep" in the row "2026" (https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v4/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt).
If NASA's "Global Temperature Index" is rendered permanently unavailable, other information from NASA may be used.
If no information for September 2026 is provided by NASA by November 1, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to the lowest range bracket.
