-3 now in the subsurface. Developing/becoming more negative ENSO coming for Hurricane season: 2020, 2016, 2011, 2010, 2007, 2005,2001 30-15-19-19-15-28-15
I agree, I would go with a weak La Nina. It will be interesting to see what happens next in the subsurface, the CPC is forecasting a big +PNA. Maybe by early August we will be saying -0.5 as the ONI peak may be as far as we get.
Yeah, that's a good point. I was wondering if the highest arctic ice melt Summer since 2010 so far (this year) would help us for the Winter. My feeling is something like 2018 is a good analog, leading to Winter 18-19.
I also feel that it is connected to the Sun, That is why next years progression should be interesting. Wouldn't rule out another March-May warming like this year.
I was once interested in the SOI*, which is the Southern Hemisphere's version of the NOI. The NOI is associated with Western drought, and has been in a cycle since 1995 possibly tied to ENSO etc.
Man, what a cold July. For the whole country being above average, it sure has been really cold. I wonder if this the start of a pattern that will be the Winter.
