El Niño conditions are developing now. As El Niño builds through June and July, forecasts predict sea surface temperatures could reach 2°C or more above average, placing it among the most intense events on record.
On June 29, 2026 we hosted our webinar "El Niño 2026: How to Prepare Your Operations for a Higher-Volatility Weather Season", a practical briefing for ops teams, voyage planners, and commercial managers.
In this webinar we covered:
- The five highest-risk corridors including Panama Canal
- How costs layer during El Niño seasons: fuel exposure, scheduling risk, port delays, and good-weather claims
- A 30/7/1-day decision framework for route planning, threshold-setting, and shore-to-vessel communication
- How Sofar's real-time ocean observations improve forecast accuracy
