2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Once we get past cool ENSO episode, it's lights-out for the multidecadal Pac cold phase. -

You can never get a 500mb forecast composite to look perfect, though....especially considering CC because you have to use analog years to construct them. -

I went with a preliminary .35 to .65 for DJFM mean PNA, and -.02 to .27 PDO. I feel comfortable with that. -

@Stormchaserchuck1I understand how the low the heights are in the N Pacific and into the SE CONUS on that comppsite...this is just preliminary. I'll probably make an adjustment to the final composite to address that, especially if El Niño continues to struggle to couple throughout the mid latitudes of the N Hem well into the fall...like subtracting a very early climo period rather than 1951-2020. -

I'm just being a d1ck. What other factors do you feel are influencing it? -
Pretty good consensus between my composites.

Yup, and I do think it will get more redolent of El Niño in the mid latitudes throughout the n hemisphere. -

I haven't been having an issue. -

This is why the pattern in the mid latitudes hasn't been more redolent of El Nino this summer. El Niño in the tropics, of course: Mid latitudes, not so much. -

I wonder if this has to do with climate change? That is, if the climate were actually changing.... -
