@BenNollWeather
If twin tropical cyclones form in the West Pacific in April, 2026 would be in a class with 2015 and 1997 — previous super El Niño events.

In March 2015 (left), Cyclones Pam and Bavi were twins, fueling a major westerly wind burst.

The same thing could happen in 2026 (right).

This is incredible, very much like the WWB we saw in 2015/1997. If this verifies, Strong El Nino here we come.

I saw posts saying that this could be a west-based or Modoki event, but I always thought west-based El Niño events are typically the weak ones (<1.0C). With the WWB signal we are seeing now, I don't think this will be a weak event.
