The TL,DR is that there’s some uncertainty in how strong the la nina is gonna get. Models have backed away from its strength lately.
But the PDO is still very negative and will remain so through winter, so enso may not even matter much for us here
I know this is just skin temps, but that cool area breaking up the marine heat wave is interesting - west of Hawaii starting 20N at on NEward. Was there a recent storm along that way?
Yeah lol i mean, it had gotten much cloudier earlier today and yesterday, whereas before it was clear skies end to end. Felt like super mario 3 where the sun is trying to kill you
