It’s even causing visibility restrictions at the surface. If I had a forest nearby, I would think it’s on fire. lol
-
Canada burning is causing amazingly thick smoke here.
-
The problem is as soon as you get some wind to mix it up, it'll cool down. It takes more than a couple weeks of warmth to warm up such a big, deep body of water. It's pretty deceiving really. The water temp there could easily be cooler on the 4th of July than it is now.
-
I’m not as knowledgeable as a lot of you guys are but it looks like the MJO could be heading back toward the Maritime Continent toward mid June. Doesn’t that usually impact the Nino development in a negative way? That probably means the global pattern would be getting a shake up as well.
-
Maybe the MJO doesn’t stall in phase 7. Euro keeps it moving with a split in its members between weak phase 8 or into the circle. JMA takes it straight into the circle while Australian model takes it fairly strongly into 8 but that run was from a couple of days ago. It seems the trend has been for weaker MJO forecasts. The GEFSv12 seems to kind of be on its own here.

Anyone else remember 20+ years ago when Accuweather had videos called Point Counterpoint with Joe Bastardi and Ken Reeves. This thread reminds me of that. lol
-
It looks like the sub surface/heat content cooled a little on the weekly update.
-
BTW, with how negative the PDO has been, it’s no surprise it is starting to become less negative. I’m not sure that means it’s going to flip to positive soon.
-
Now you're just getting desperate.
-
Truly frightening. lol
-
How much does it even matter if the current 3.4 anomaly is high than 1997 at this time? Nothing else that matters is anything like 1997 right now. Twitter is just used for hype apparently.
-
This is another index that kind of shows my point about how the super Nino years were "primed" and ready to go by this point.
-
I guess the sun angle didn’t stop it from accumulating.
-
Even the CFSv2 with its super Nino forecast has 1.2 peaking now and falling. Some of the members have it barely above 0 by December.
-
I'm sure he is talking about Tonga.
-
Even the vehicle in the driveway melted away.
-
I remember in summer 2014 when the talk was of a strong Nino coming on, the SOI never averaged strongly negative. If you were forecasting based off the SOI, you would’ve forecasted a weak Nino and sure enough that’s what we ended up with. The 30 day is barely negative right now. It’ll be interesting to see what it looks like this summer.
-
It’s a hinderance to its development though. It reminds me of Spring 2016 when we had models going crazy predicting a strong Nina. The CFS V2 had a super Nina predicted. The PDO never went negative though and the best we could do was a weak Nina that winter despite what the models were forecasting.
-
I guess that’s why I hate twitter. Other than some of the models, there’s nothing IMO that indicates a strongest Nino ever by late summer. This isn’t just random guy tweeting either. It’s Paul Roundy. That’s what frustrates me.
-
This is the kind of stuff that frustrates me. I’d love some reasoning as to why he believes this could be the strongest ever by late summer. It’s late April and the 3.4 anomaly is still around 0.
-
I’m going to be an outlier and say +.9-1.2 peak.
-
So +1.5-1.9 tri monthly peak?
-
What strength do you forecast this Nino to peak at?
-
I never said anything about what you thought would happen. lol
-
Yeah. You were right on with intensity despite all of twitter telling us it was going to be the strongest in 5000 years(maybe I exaggerated a bit there).
