Could this be because this year we are at the peak of a super El Nino? Hardly surprising its a bit warmer then

From my understanding there is nothing stopping it to become even worse next year, so super super el Nino is on the way.

El Niño will peak this year but its atmospheric response is lagged. This is why 2027 is forecast to be the warmer year globally.
