A strengthening El Niño event, with Niño 3.4 anomalies already exceeding +2°C and forecasts pointing to a historic peak above +3.5°C later in 2026, is the dominant near-term driver lifting September global mean temperatures. Early September observations place daily anomalies near +1.0°C above the 1991–2020 baseline, consistent with a monthly value likely falling in the 1.3–1.5°C range above pre-industrial levels once full ERA5 or Berkeley Earth processing is complete. Model ensembles show wide spreads around land-ocean contrasts and short-term variability, while the lagged atmospheric response to Pacific heat content keeps probabilities tightly clustered across the 1.30–1.49°C bins. Traders are therefore weighting the balance between ongoing ocean heat release and potential short-term cooling influences from regional circulation patterns.

This market will resolve according to the value reported by the Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index for September 2026 when it is released.
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.A strengthening El Niño event, with Niño 3.4 anomalies already exceeding +2°C and forecasts pointing to a historic peak above +3.5°C later in 2026, is the dominant near-term driver lifting September global mean temperatures.
