I hear this is his first stop! LOL!

The TAO buoy data found at the link below totally confirms Roundy’s noting of the lack of a consistent 30C isotherm E of the Dateline in 1997 when considering SSTs along the 180 and 175W longitudes and comparing those to 1997 to 2026. But it’s also important to keep in mind that there’s been a large amount of GW since 1997. So, that by itself gives 2026 a significant advantage. That’s of course why relative measures have been incorporated in products by NOAA and some others worldwide. That’s the beauty of the SOI. It doesn’t appear to be substantially affected by GW and thus the comparison to past years.

Looks like major heat comes back middle to late next week as they ridge out west will move over us. Not quite as hot as the records we just experience. And there are signs it’ll be short lived as a big BN ridge wants to take over the NE/mid Atlantic.

Will that blob to my west make it over the mountains? Stay tuned

Squall lines have become as rare as derechos and hurricanes around here

west. there was nothing to track until the 18th onward

We are already way ahead of all other El Niños on record in region 3.4. That aside, once this current WWB/DWKW and the 30C isotherm east of the dateline catches up and does their dirty work over the next month, Paul Roundy thinks this event surpasses 1997 in the far eastern ENSO regions next…subsurface and surface

I meant long range

Wife is stressing. Planned a pool party for tomorrow. Weather looks better for Sunday. Told her "lets just move it to Sunday..?". "YOU CANT JUST MOVE PARTIES THE DAY BEFORE!". Guess I need to brush up on the party rulebook. Maybe I have an outdated version.
