What we have already observed over the last two months has been made official: THE BOY is here, and here to stay through the rest of 2026.

What will likely become one of the strongest El Nino events in recorded history is underway. Above-average sea surface temperatures in the Pacific will have global impacts on rainfall, droughts, and heat waves. They are now officially warm enough for El Nino to be declared.

For Texas, big impacts are possible down the road:

🔹The extra rain we've seen this spring will help keep temperatures more manageable this summer, but El Nino otherwise does not have much direct influence on our weather in the summer.

🔹Warmer water in the Pacific = more moisture in the atmosphere = more moisture moving into the southern U.S. along the Pacific jet stream. That is most prevalent in fall/winter/spring seasons and when we are most likely to see above-average rainfall.

🔹Some of our biggest floods in Central Texas have occurred in El Nino years, most recently/notably in 2015 (spring and fall) and fall of 2018. The strength of El Nino doesn't directly correspond to bigger floods, but a strong El Nino increases the odds of above-average rain occurring.

Long story short, buckle up for what could be a rowdy end to 2026 here in Texas thanks to The Boy.
