Zeke Hausfather is one of the most prominent El Niño experts out there.
He mentions the Canadian models today. The old record of 2.8°C above average in the oceanic region could be as high as 3.6°C and 4.2°C by November.
Record shattering.
Given that this peak is occurring in November this, including the ongoing buildup happening right now (it is already at or near the 2.8°C record) could have large impacts on fall and winter 2026, as well as into Spring and Summer 2027.

poor air quality in #portalberni
no AQ yet because it has not lasted long enough, but it is possible we will have one this evening or tomorrow morning if conditions don't improve.
Live conditions here:
https://www.alberniweather.ca/current-air-quality-readings-in-port-alberni/
my station is currently mostly in the shade due to changes in the backyard. So this is definitely an under-count on the temperature from Alberniweather.
high of 35.6°C at Alberniweather Heat Index of 37.2
official high of 34.9°C at the Alberni Airport. Humidex of 38
(Heat Index is used in the USA, Humidex is Canadian... for some reason my station isn't calculating Humidex right now. Havent been able to diagnose why)
It will never not boggle my mind that the little box under my basement stairs can detect an earthquake 4000km away!!
These are the 7.3 and 6.0 quakes in Mexico this morning.

Looks like #bcwildfire smoke is settling into the Valley this evening :(
Our run of clear air has ended.
The current PM2.5 readings from around the Valley and Island can be seen on the Air Quality page on https://www.alberniweather.ca
You can see the smoke in the valley on the West webcam.
Currently not bad, but I expect readings to rise tonight and tomorrow morning as temperatures cool overnight.

significant cluster of lightning near Franklin River junction on the Bamfield/Nitinat/PortAlberni/Cowichan road.
starting to hear the rumbles.
Keep an eye out for wildfire smoke today and the next day or two. But hopefully the rain this weekend will help take care of anything.
Very very hot today. It will feel like 39°C.
Stay safe, in the shade, and hydrated.
Things will cool off by the weekend.

Looks like Port Alberni is *just* south of the partial eclipse. The north of Vancouver Island will see a sliver. The total eclipse is through Spain.
Mark Ingalls has an important and informative commentary on the utility of WeatherRadio in Canada and the USA and why it should not only be kept, but promoted and be part of every Canadian's emergency kit!
