2025-2026 ENSO


Recommended Posts

The EPS and long-range ECMWF continue to suggest that an EPO-/WPO-/PNA-/AO- pattern will develop to open December. Such a pattern typically favors a trough's being anchored in the West and extending mainly across Canada. Although some cold could periodically push into the eastern U.S., the coldest anomalies would stay in the west (both in Canada and the U.S.).

December 1-10, 1980-2024:

Below are the four major clusters for the EPO-/WPO-/PNA-/AO- (91% of all cases):

Currently, the guidance favors the most common cluster.

Another case of the NAO/AO disconnect that we’ve been seeing more frequently the last 10 years….the NAO/AO used to almost always go positive or negative together and you rarely saw a disconnect between the two

Hopefully it goes to 8 like the majority hae been saying 

It’s certainly possible that it goes into phase 8 in December. However, the earlier idea that it would propagate into phase 8 by the end of this month appears to be dead in the water right now. The progression has slowed considerably

The slowdown has happened a few times in the past as it got closer. Sometimes models are too gungho in the long range just to tame it back.
