This market will resolve according to the numerical rank of how hot 2026 is when compared against all other years for which the Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index has data. Years will be ranked in descending order, starting with the hottest as number 1, the second hottest as number 2, etc. If 2026 ties with any other year, it will resolve according to the place the year it ties with occupies. This market will resolve immediately once the specified data becomes available, regardless of whether the figure for the relevant years is later revised. The primary resolution source for this market will be the figure found in the table titled "Land-Ocean Temperature Index (C)" under the column "No_Smoothing" in the row "2026" (https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/graph_data/Global_Mean_Estimates_based_on_Land_and_Ocean_Data/graph.txt). If NASA's "Global Temperature Index" is rendered permanently unavailable, other information from NASA may be used. If no information for 2026 is provided by NASA by March 1, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting.Strong anthropogenic warming from greenhouse gases combined with residual ocean heat from the 2023–2024 El Niño has kept 2026 global temperatures near record levels through mid-year, according to analyses from NOAA, NASA, and Carbon Brief. Early 2026 monthly anomalies placed the year behind 2024 but ahead of most prior records, with February ranking fifth-warmest globally; models project a best-estimate outcome of roughly 1.47 °C above pre-industrial, favoring second place behind 2024 (67 % implied probability) while leaving a modest chance of surpassing it as the warmest. A developing El Niño by late 2026 could boost remaining months, though La Niña influences earlier in the period and natural variability introduce uncertainty in final ranking.
