A rapidly intensifying El Niño, with Niño 3.4 sea surface temperature anomalies already at record +2.6–2.7 °C and multi-model forecasts peaking near +4 °C by late 2026, represents the dominant near-term driver of elevated September global temperatures, pushing market-implied odds into a tight cluster across the 1.30–1.49 °C bins. This event builds on the long-term anthropogenic warming trend, with July 2026 already reaching 1.56 °C above the 1850–1900 baseline and early September observations running near or above +0.98 °C relative to recent climatologies. Trader consensus remains balanced because monthly anomalies depend on precise ENSO teleconnections, internal variability, and the exact lag between Pacific heat release and global response, while official seasonal outlooks from NOAA and the WMO highlight elevated probabilities of above-normal land temperatures worldwide. Upcoming ensemble model runs and final monthly analyses from agencies such as Berkeley Earth or NASA GISS will likely resolve the narrow range separating the leading outcomes.

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.
