Max, El Niño. Several Youtubbie clips on it.
I don't think I am the Max you are asking, but:
I think it will be hot
If I'm the Max you're looking for...
El Nino increases the likelihood of a cooler, wetter summer, and tends to reduce the number of Atlantic hurricanes

Whoops. Guess I was correct.

Dunno. You said, "I think it will be hot."
Max W.: "... likelihood of a cooler...."
MfM: Maybe don't give up your day job to be a weatherman.. 
Of course, we have to wait for June 21 to find out.

I hope the El Niño brings enough rain to end our drought. When I checked a week ago, we were missing about four inches of rain. The trees and shrubs are suffering.

I thought it had changed its name back to HBO Max anyway

I think the OP is actually referring to the prospect of a "Super El Niño." Much higher water temps than a typical El Niño.
I've read some pretty dire forecasts if that occurs, mostly on macro climate issues such as major droughts in some areas and flooding in others.
If memory serves, the articles indicated that millions died in less-developed parts of the world in the late 19th Century when one of these occured.
Are you familiar with this, Max W.?
From Wikipedia:
1877–1878
The strongest super El Niño on record as of early 2026 was the 1877–1878 event, which led to a global famine that killed more than 50 million people, or about 3-4 percent of the estimated global population, in disasters such as the Great Famine of 1876–1878 in India, the Northern Chinese Famine of 1876–1879, and the Grande Seca in Brazil.[8] In North America the event was known as the Year without a winter because of unseasonably warm weather in certain areas.[18][19][20][21]
How will it affect us?
