Without looking at anything, and in the absence of any context whatsoever, I will venture out on a limb and guess you are thinking warmer than forecast?

2026-2027 Strong/Super El Nino

I Just mean in the aggregate for the season. I haven't really dug in yet. -

He's not wishcasting if you read his posts, he expects competing MC forcing like 2023. -

It's going to be a torch.....but we had some shots back then that just didn't pan out. If things were timed differently, we could have availed of some -NAO periods...hell, my area pulled off a great event as it was just prior to xmas. Personally, I doubt it ends up as east-based as 1997...but if we don't cool the west Pacific off, then that would be even worse because it would mean MC competition as far as forcing. If we cool the west Pacific off and get a basin wide deal, then we have a shot at something. -

Either way, we are getting a pig ridge in Canada...but we can either have a trough in the southeast, or a cool ENSO like se ridge. This why my 2023 outlook was such a dud...I didn't get that back then. -

A pure super El Nino would offer more hope for a wintry period than the warm/cool ENSO hybrid that we witnessed in 2023 and to a lesser extent, 2015....especially early in the season. -

I think this is the first time I have every genuinely hoped you were right. -
2026-2027 Strong/Super El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Yea, I'm open to an alternate solution, but I think the default expectation should be continued attenuation of the ability of warm ENSO to modulate the north Pacific moving forward. -

I think you have to assume another La Nino given the consistent RONI lag. -

40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Yea, CC is limiting the utility of traditional indexes....we need a RONI for the IOD. I bet the modern IOD readings are falsely inflated due to the rising SSTs, so you can't assume this will entirely eradicate the La Nina background. -

This is what I was driving at.....the very strong +IOD didn't prevent the La Nino in 2023, so how can we be confident that it will this year.... -

Well, you could do that with any period....add March in and winter wasn't that cold. -

Of course, I'm just saying it's a consideration. I used to be oppose to it, but have started incorporating it a bit.
