That was an earlier update. Check out the latest: down to +2.9 peak/blues still lower than reds thru NDJ:

Why is it overwhelming the signal on RMM now but in 97-8 it was nearly opposite (majority in MC/IO)?

And here’s the 2 week fcast below. Does anyone know why the MJO is avoiding the IO & MC? I looked at the other 16 Ninos since 76/7 and found only two others only somewhat similar in JAS: 2015: still had good # in IO 1994: still had large # in MC

The MJO continues to avoid the Maritime C and IO like no other time on record:

Per this the min of 3.6 may have already been hit. If so, that’s well above the worst:

I think this is the 5th run in a row and 7th overall with a Medi-TC!

Indeed. But Parnas is smart enough to know better. That’s a huge blunder for him. Typical DT supporters OTOH….though I’m suspecting trolling .

CC has caused the poles to warm much more rapidly than the tropics. Thus, there’s less of need to move heat from tropics to poles. In theory that should mean a net drop in TCs. Although the ATL basin has yet to exhibit this (ignoring 2026, which is super Nino related), the W PAC sure has overall (esp when ignoring Nino related ‘26). Maybe the ATL will eventually have a CC related reduction, especially when -AMO returns.

No, A. Parnas, the super Nino is not caused in part due to DT anti-climate policies!

Remember this 9/5 CFSv2 AAM run progging 3+ starting Sep 8th and 4+ starting Sep 15? Compare that to the latest released (9/12) showing 3+ not til Sep 15th and 4+ not til Sep 19th!

3.4 peak still cooling!

We’re getting hit hard with what looks like a severe thunderstorm even though it’s not warned yet! It started at 7:15PM.

After having a Medi-TC on both Sep 8th UKMET runs (TCG late 9/13 to early 9/14), the subsequent 5 runs’ textual output showed nothing. But the newest UKMET (12Z 9/11 run) brought it back albeit slightly delayed vs the two 9/8 runs with TCG ~18 hours later. This run gets it all of the way down to 986 mb. Wouldn’t it be amazing for the Mediterranean to have a TC stronger than the strongest so far in the Atlantic?

Nino 4 on latest UKMET strengthened slightly from a peak of ~+1.3 in Sep on the Aug run to a peak of ~+1.4 in Nov on the new run: Aug run: peak of ~+1.3 in Sep (non-relative) Sep run: peak of ~+1.4 in Nov (non-relative)
