September finished quite similarly to a blend of the past four El Nino Septembers (2015, 2018, 2019, 2023) nationally.

God, I hope that grouping fails spectacularly moving forward....I'd just assume drive out to the desert's of Albuquerque and shot-gun a cactus than experience anything akin to the past four El Niño events during this coming season.

October is not ending up like 2018, 2019, 2023.. They were cold in the Rockies and Midwest. Looks like opposite pattern is setting up this Oct

Ensembles continue with the +NAO too.

-2023 isn't a great analog because

1. its RONI peak of +1.4 pales in comparison to where 26 is headed and even where it already is

2. It was much less E based (cross between E based & basinwide) than 26 is progged to be

3. The only similarly strongly -PDO of any Niño of the last 150 years was 1951-2 and it’s RONI peaked at only +1.0

—————
-2019 is hardly an analog because it wasn’t even El Niño as it peaked at only +0.3 and was W based

———

-2018 isn’t a good analog because it peaked at only +0.8 and was slightly W based

————

-2015 is the only of these that’s a good analog but it was pretty much basin-wide, not E based

23-24 is a good analog because we don't have enough data! I think you're the one who posted about every Strong+ El Nino since the 1800s having positive or neutral PDO until 2023. The PDO has surprisingly high correlation number with US conditions historically. For the whole year it's almost the same as ENSO! Giving ENSO 0.55 and PDO 0.45 makes 23-24 the best analog since the 1800s, not to mention that since 2012/2013, recent analogs have worked much better than far-away ones.
