NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information released its April 2026 global climate report around May 10, confirming the Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index anomaly at 1.17°C above the 1901-2000 twentieth-century average—firmly within the 1.15–1.19ºC bin—driving trader consensus to 100% implied probability on this outcome as the primary resolution source. This aligns with Copernicus ERA5 data showing a +1.43°C anomaly relative to the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline and +0.52°C above 1991-2020, reflecting second-highest sea surface temperatures amid an emerging El Niño in the equatorial Pacific. Datasets differ due to measurement methodologies (land stations plus ocean buoys vs. reanalysis models), but cross-verification reinforces certainty. Realistic challenges include rare post-release revisions by NOAA, though final figures exhibit high stability; no major updates expected.
