West/Southwest Canada has endured a snowy 2025-26 winter snow season. A rapid melt would cause serious flooding.

Wet +IOD Runs Some Interference on Dry El Nino Climate During India Monsoon Season

The Climate Impact Company constructed analog climate forecast for summer 2026 across India is issued. The forecast is confidently based on an emerging strong El Nino, which has a drying effect on India and a less confident evolution of positive phase Indian Ocean dipole, normally a wet influence on India climate. The JUN/JUL/AUG 2026 precipitation forecast across India is mostly dry according to CIC although with some locally patchy wet month-to-month areas.
