Is a Super El Niño Coming? What NOAA Says and What It Means for Michigan Weather

El Niño has begun but is not yet a 'Super El Niño,' with a 63% chance of becoming very strong between November 2026 and January 2027, according to NOAA. Southeast Michigan's summer weather in 2026 is expected to be less affected by El Niño, with equal chances of above-normal, near-normal, or below-normal temperatures and rainfall.
