An Italian meteorologist reveals the real influence of the El Niño phenomenon on the record temperatures of summer 2026

An Italian meteorologist analyzed the real influence of the El Niño phenomenon on the extremely hot summer of 2026 in Europe, which broke thousands of heat records. According to the specialist, although El Niño formed late and developed gradually, scientific literature indicates that its direct impact on the European summer is statistically weak and almost imperceptible. In the summer season, atmospheric circulation in European latitudes is determined by regional dynamics, such as Atlantic sea surface temperatures, the position of the polar jet stream, and local blocking patterns. Considering El Niño as directly responsible for the overheating of the Iberian Peninsula, the Po Valley, or the French plains would be a misconception, although it exerts some indirect influence on the European climate.
