With a confirmed "super" El Niño now underway, many Canadians are hoping that will translate to prolonged warmth deep into fall, and perhaps a more manageable winter ahead. To answer that, we went to Kevin MacKay, a meteorologist at The Weather Network, to answer the question on the minds of many Canadians for this fall and the upcoming 2026-27 winter season. Current forecasts suggest this El Niño will reach its peak between late fall and early winter, potentially adding more strength to its already significant impacts. Q: Does El Niño boost the temperature maximums, or just the mean temperatures? Looking at the average date for the latest 20-degree day during the past 10 El Niño and La Niña winters, there doesn’t appear to be any confidence in 20°C temperatures making a later-than-normal curtain call anywhere in the country during this strong, global climate phenomenon. Of the six Canadian cities listed, only two of them normally see their last 20°C day later during El Niño than La Niña, and only by a few days at that. The more reasonable hope is for there to not be an early winter or a hard transition to winter.
