El Niño is strengthening

Incidentally, be sure that 2009 can no longer set the new warmth record, regardless of your preferred source of the global mean temperature data. Gaia would need temperatures warmer by something like 0.5 °C than today to last from tomorrow till the end of the year (in average) which is unlikely. According to the satellites, it will be the 11th year that will have failed to improve the record reading. However, 2009 will be warmer than 2008 and probably other recent cooler years.
