‘Super El Nino’ set to raise world temperatures further

Last Wednesday, 26.6C was recorded at Kew Gardens in southwest London, making it the hottest day of 2026 so far.

Following a cooler weekend, temperatures are expected to rise slowly and could reach 18C by Friday in London, and 16C in Manchester. Springtime temperatures are forecast into the weekend, with highs of 17C on Saturday and 16C on Sunday.

The news comes as forecasters suggest a brewing El Nino weather event could reach “super-strength”, further intensifying global heating over the next year or so.
