  1. 40/70 Benchmark
    I don't agree with a -PNA winter season.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, but that doesn't render them worthless...rather it's incumbent on a quality seasonal forecaster to apply the necessary modifcations.
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    Everything @snowman19is pointing out about the magnitude of this event is spot-on, which is why there is hope that the pattern over the N Hemisphere grows more redolent of warm ENSO as we approach boreal winter.
  4. 40/70 Benchmark
    Absolutely....basically what I am intimating. I am not discounting that at all.....just pointing out we aren't there yet.
  5. 40/70 Benchmark
    Buy.
  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    Modern climate seems to have more of a disconnect between the mid latitudes and tropics, which would obviously impact the summer more, when the signals are weaker at baseline....perhaps this will change as we get into the fall given the magnitude of ENSO.

    MJO was rather diffuse for the most part in July 1991, but notice the only appreciable amplitude was in the MC on the 7th-8th (phase 4) and...19th-22nd (phase 7) https://www.bom.gov.au/clim_data/IDCKGEM000/rmm.74toRealtime.txt This July, we are also getting huge amplitude in phase 8, but doesn't seem to matter.

    Another -PDO season.
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, all I need to see. This is what ultimately matters, so IMHO, you (collective) can shove all of the OLR, VP and MJO plots......we are having a cool ENSO July. Not what I want, but it is what it is.

    MJO isn't always the best tool because it doesn't show split forcing...check the Homollover (sp?) Anyway, the ridging this month in the NE has not been El Niño like....sure, you could blame the lack of correlation in the summer, but most other developing intense Nino events did not have it, and this one is developing faster. I think it's also important to mix in actual observations with the array or tools.
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, both can be true.....Nino is epic in the tropics, but we still have some MC competition in mid latitudes.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    I am getting a great deal of consensus from an early stage just like I did last season, which proved pretty damn accurate. My polar domain assessment should be ready hopefully before the weekend. It's taken a bit longer than I had hoped, which is par for the course if you're doing it right.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    I hate the heat, but the humidity is no prize, either....but I expect that in August...by far the most humid month, while July is hottest. It's the inverse of the winter, when January is coldest, but February is snowiest. at least here on the east coast.

    Yes, this is confirming that the tropics are 100% in El Nino mode, but I await more evidence that the mid latitudes are.
