Absolutely. But a good indicator is the amount of jump we saw between 1997, when the El Nino had started, and 1998, because right now, 2015 is comparable to 1997 from an ENSO perspective.
Only a significant volcanic eruption (e.g. Pinatubo) would prevent 2016 from at least matching 2015, and very likely exceeding it.
The NWS predictions are for most of the US to be significantly above average for temperatures during the majority of 2016.

To those who are convinced this is a dooms-day scenario, how do you propose you're going to fix this by going the politicized route? That route is not just a traffic jam... the road has caved-in.
