NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.
NOAA seasonal forecast update today ramped up the Atlantic to 60% chance of an above-normal season , and 25% near-normal, which is up from 30% above / 40% near / 30% below normal issued in May. It seems the May forecast was quite a hedge with uncertainty about the developing El Niño and warm Atlantic ocean temperatures.
