Augdewst 2026: Summer's Last Stand
40/70 Benchmark replied to Prismshine Productions's topic in New England
I love how every few days he takes to social media and declares Iran dead, yet the war carries on and prices stay up. I should have went on X yesterday and told everyone that the Sox kicked ass in the Bronx and have clinched the division. -
New run of the seasonals should be out soon....I expect them to back off of the -NAO and go warmer early on.

2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Interesting...didn't know that. Confirms what I had already suspected about this December. Maybe that is why El Nino Decembers are usually warm....not so much about El Nino itself, but some of the intervals of -SOI that goes along with it...though, I guess it really doesn't matter. -

Like I have been saying, you need to take that "SevereweatherEurpe" or whatever it is with a grain of salt....I picked apart his arguments for a neg NAO season in my July blog, as his stuff is full of half-truths. He doesn't lie, but he cherry picks data and doesn't tell you the whole story. Funny how it doesn't look as favorable for an NAO winter now a month later. -

I expected that and explicitly predicted that your index would neutralize when I did my polar post in latter July. -

Getting pretty close to go-time for Check's NAO calculation....should be shifting towards + with only one month remaining in the period... -

Yea, I think the JMA is too cold, too. ...they both have the El Niño with a hard shift towards Modoki. I think the EURO is more reasonable with a basin-wide shift. -

Yea, it was feverish pace for several years...used the opportunity to dig deeper on winter seasonal stuff and hone my methods. -

My last post on the tropics was a post-mortem on Hurricane Milton on October 10th, 2024. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2024/10/hurricane-milton-verification-devil-is.html All you need to know. -
Looking at them both, which was painful...I agree that 2015 was worse from a synopitc standpoint at H5...2023 was bad, but December 2015 was as bad as it gets.

Oh, phew...
