2026-2027 Strong/Super El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
This is in no way 2009-2010...not remotely relevant. You have brought that up a couple of times...it's moot. It was much weaker and the warmth was relegated to the western flank...not to mention we had just passed solar min with a neg QBO. -

What choice do I have? If it's a super El Nino with the RONI lagging the ONI like 2023, then it will suck...just pray for one good storm and an exit from Bluewave's warm-pool nightmare. -

With any luck, this El Nino will provide the impetus for the exit of this west-warm pool oriented decade, as snowman suggested. I understand that may mean biting the bullet this year. -

Yea, this is why I don't think the Modoki is really going to matter. I think it's more about how it relates to the ONI. -

Hopefully that helps boost the RONI. -

Right....2018-2019 was la Nino, as well. It's honestly been over a decade since we've had a true El Nino, and the RONI even lagged in that one. -

Yea, unfortunately, I feel like the remaining delta between the two is more important than the absolute RONI reading. Looks like a subpar season with an elevated risk for a big-dog. -

Cyclical. -

Yes, that is my fear. I managed an awesome event on January 7th, though....was pretty localized, though. -

Absolutely. This is what I have been getting at with the RONI focus. -
I've really made a concerted effort to factor CC in after the 2023 El Nino handed me my ass.

Only issue is that the RONI ls lagging the ONI by more this go-around, even though it is like to reach or exceed that absolute value of 1982. -
No idea, I only do hurricanes in the summer....and incremental winter outlooks prep.

I think it will depend on the RONI vs ONI relationship. -
