A strong, rapidly intensifying El Niño event, with Niño 3.4 anomalies recently exceeding +2.5 °C and model consensus pointing to a very strong peak in October–December 2026, supplies the dominant warming influence on global mean surface temperatures. Daily analyses place early September 2026 near +1.0 °C above the 1991–2020 baseline (roughly +1.5 °C above pre-industrial), consistent with the trailing effects of prior warmth plus the emerging El Niño signal. Ensemble forecasts for the full month show a wide spread centered around 1.4–1.5 °C above pre-industrial, with outcomes sensitive to the precise timing of tropical Pacific heat release, mid-latitude circulation patterns, and any short-term cooling from volcanic aerosols or internal variability. This genuine scientific uncertainty, rather than a single dominant driver, keeps market-implied probabilities tightly clustered across the 1.30–1.49 °C bins. Updated NOAA and ECMWF model runs expected later this month will provide the next key data points for traders.

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.
