The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center predicts that this summer could be one of the hottest summers on record, with a one-in-four chance of a “super El Niño” disrupting global weather patterns. The agency predicts that there is a 62% chance of El Niño forming from June to August and lasting through the end of the year. There is also a 25% chance the El Niño will be "very strong," giving it the title "supreme El Niño". To qualify for this, water temps need to rise at least 4 degrees higher than average. New York is expected to see as many as 22 days over 90 degrees this summer, surpassing the record set in 2010.
