I wonder if the Nino 1+2 stuff is just reflecting of the current warm pattern... and if ENSO will make a reemergence. It looked like we were going El Nino, may still go weak El Nino.
Super warm March.. can already feel it in late February, one of the warmest I remember. There's no "space" for variation. (No room for error down, can't really get to warm too cause then Summer would be a dud (for me))
Subsurface is pretty classic El Nino configuration. the pattern doesn't feel like a Winter- El Nino above +0.5 though.
Also colder wave around 160W, -200m may bias short term conditions to more -PNA (vs models)
