The Climate Crisis: Weather for 2026

When Donald Trump said the Climate Crisis was a hoax, he was mistaken, in a rather large and complete way. Whatever the information is, was, and has been that he has been getting from his sources, he is being given false and inaccurate information. He believes their false information and they become his beliefs. His beliefs are not automatically truth. No one’s beliefs are automatically the truth.

I will not try to be gentle with this prediction. 2026 will be the next heat-records breaking year for the planet. This pattern has continued for many years, with no surprise at all, this pattern will continue for decades yet. About 97-98% of the years of the next 4 decades will all be the “next” record breaking year compared to all years before them.

This global warming will bring a great amount of problems for all of humanity and for all life on the planet. The children of today are the ones who will pay an ever increasing price. There are no more alternate paths anymore. Yes, humanity will adapt and make its way through, but not all species of life will. All efforts to help prevent, will help slow down the increase in each years heat, but the increase is still established. All weather for this decade of the 2020’s is set in rock because I see little change from the situations and efforts to change this, during the 2020’s.

INDIA
The numbers of mudslides and flooding, (and therefore deaths) will be as if it were to never stop. In 2026, I see numbers reaching from 50,000 on. I’m seeing India’s minimum death toll for 2026 from all weather related deaths being 40-60,000. While official records won’t have anywhere near these numbers, these are the numbers I’m seeing, and I’m seeing official recording agencies reporting about 15-20% of the actual numbers.

While the government of India does try to get citizens to help fight global warming, the response from the citizens citizens of India is bleak. Prayer does help. Prayer will help. And it will take many people’s prayers to change the predictions.

EUROPE
Looking at 2026 as a whole, the 2026 weather throughout Europe can be recognized as being severe. While the European nations do a better job of dealing with severe weather conditions, because they are taking actions which help, they will have severe weather conditions – this includes larger storms, higher speed winds, and flooding rains. I also see the higher temperatures existing in Europe during spring and summer months. The higher temperatures contribute to more agitation of the air streams, causing more extreme conditions. I’m seeing Europe’s snow amount being about normal, though. This is like when a pendulum swings back and forth, and when the pendulum is in the position of pointing straight down. During this particular moment, everything appears peaceful and good. However, the momentum of the pendulum means that the scene is deceiving and worse is yet to come.

However, looking through the years ahead, there are successes in Europe’s efforts to impact the atmospheres above them, and reduce air pollution which would otherwise contribute to the weather worsening even more. Europe alone cannot save the people and life on Earth from the Climate Crisis.

Overall, I’m seeing 2026 NOT bringing “normal” weather for Europe. I’m seeing the most noticeable weather impact being the increase in rain and flooding.

RUSSIA

Russia will face extreme colds more than storms. This includes general winter conditions lasting 7-8 months of the year. This will affect Russia’s agriculture industry by creating too-cold conditions, reducing much of the agriculture products grown in the months left of the entire year. The information coming from official Russian sources will not be reporting anything about this, and will not be reporting this to its citizens. In fact, just the opposite. Hence, Putin will sustain his efforts to take Ukraine because he also believes it will solve some of Russia’s problems related to the Climate Crisis.

AFRICA AS A CONTINENT

In 2026, the general state across Africa is that the amounts of rain across the continent will register as less than years before. The worsening drought situation, of there being less and less rain each year, will continue through the end of this decade at least, and somewhat beyond the end of this decade. I’m not looking further at this time. The hotter temperatures will continue to create conditions where rain water is less. In a few specific areas – southern central Africa, I do see rain and some flooding, which the people and animals living in this area, will be happy to receive. It will bring a few problems, as well, what with dealing with excessive mud problems. But, still, it’s some rain.

With less rain and drinking water through the end of the 2020’s and beyond, watch for the wild animals of Africa paying the price with their lives. Bleak? Yes! (I will not be gentle with this forecast.)

Again, mankind can adapt quickly, but animals and plants cannot. Meanwhile, the topic of drinking water availability will become more serious as time continues.

USA

First, I’m seeing FEMA no longer having much of a budget or personnel to help hurricane victims financially very much at all. They will be offering advice and information, but little more than that, until it is built back up after the new president takes over in 2028 on this particular time line. But 2028 seems like such a long time from now. It could take 3 or 4 years before FEMA can start helping disaster victims financially, as opposed to when DOGE stopped the very real help that came from FEMA. Ignoring the disinformation and false information by those who seek to make life worse for Americans, FEMA has been a helpful organization.

I’m seeing 2 large hurricanes go inland on the East Coast – 1 large hurricane going straight inland into N. Georgia/South Carolina, and a 2nd smaller hurricane going inland through N. Carolina/Virginia, again.
Florida will be impacted by 1 hurricane, but I am seeing it NOT go directly into Florida. However, there will be storms hitting Florida. I see one possible major storm going straight across middle Florida, east to west, and going into the Gulf.

I see one small storm going inland through the Gulf into Louisiana and Mississippi.

In 2026, the western states will have lower than average snow levels.

And the fires – there is no avoiding the fires. There will be fires happening somewhere west of the Rockies for the entire year. This will be for the remainder of this decade. A few of these are arson, but the majority are lightening strikes and other natural happenings. Fires create embers that fly through the air to other places.

During the winter months of Jan/Feb, 2026. I see the Midwest (upper Midwest mostly) once again being devastated by arctic temperatures which will come down into the Midwestern states. There will be more freezing records broken in the Midwestern cities/states. States that are vulnerable to Arctic freezes or in danger this coming winter will be eastern Colorado, Nebraska, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and all states north of these. I list these to give the most southern danger lines, while those below this line will experience freezes but not at dire dangerous levels. Yet, sometimes “dangerous” is in the eye of the beholder.

At the same time in the US, I’m seeing the overall temperatures in Southern and Southwestern states be warmer over all. There will be spikes into freezing temperature, but overall warmer than past winters.

PACIFIC RIM

I’m seeing 2 major typhoons in the southern area of the pacific. They will form south of Hawaii and go westward. I see one moving towards Japan/Taiwan and then into China. I see another’s path being further south and hitting the Philippines/Taiwan/China. As they move into China, they will dissipate quickly bringing much needed rain to areas.

AUSTRALIA

Although Australia does have drought conditions, I do see 2026 as a year where it does NOT get worse. It’s not better – not more rain, but the rain that does come gets into different areas. The temperature readings for Australia for the year, will be slightly hotter. I see that the climate crisis does have an effect, but mostly wildlife and people have been adapting and dealing with it – in general.

However, this is not the trend, and should not be taken as a reversal of the forecasts for the future. The remainder of the decade will add more drought to Australia’s weather – with intermittent below average rains.

CHINA

China’s weather problems will be destructive to the population. This is not just for those in the vicinity of the weather but for the Chinese population since all will experience the loss associated with decreased growing, harvesting and availability of food crops. I’m seeing severe flooding through different areas of Central China, and those who live near large rivers and lakes will experience this flooding impacting their homes and most agriculture in the north-central China areas. I’m also seeing Winter temperatures being more severe across the same Central areas beyond just northern China.

I’m seeing 1 major Typhoon going inland in the Southeast area of China. Possibly in November.

AMAZON RAIN FOREST

The Amazon will continue to shrink due to illegal deforestation by corporations, landowners and local governments. This shrinkage will contribute to the climate crisis with the results being to increase the amount of heat entering into the atmosphere from the ground. Trees and forests act as a trap for heat and as such, keep the temperatures at a steady average level. Without the trees and the forests, the temperature extremes begin affecting the atmosphere and this heat spreads to other areas of the continent including into the Atlantic Ocean, where this greater heat levels help create more hurricanes, which go into the Caribbean and the US coastlines.

It is such that in decades ahead, this will change the hurricane season from 5 months of the year to 9 months of the year. Possibly 10-11. Without any help or change, in the next 5 years, we’ll see a handful of hurricanes be outside the established 5 month time period that hurricanes normally occur. A hurricane in March or April, can surprise a lot of people. Our children will see it happen, if we continue on this timeline.

******

Each year as time goes on, will bring climate predictions similar to these. Many are still thinking that the climate problems are only temporary and it will all return to normal without doing anything to change it. What I’m seeing is that people will not see anything return to normal. All around the world, the changes and extremes will continue and increase. The climate weather will become more erratic and more dramatic, causing more problems with every facet of life which is dependent on weather that supports life. This is not optimistic, because I’m seeing only increasing problems. I’m not seeing great efforts all around the globe (and in the US) where steps are taken.

I’m ready for questions posed via the comments.
