I still think we will cut into this a good bit; 1) El Nino has shown nothing of the like since July. 2) There is a healthy +subsurface wave happening now, which is 90% correlated to +PNA at the same time (I've never seen opposite verification of the extent occur).
Yeah, I see seasonal models shift with every little swing. It's weird to see them go weaker in the last few weeks with the El Nino dominating and still peaking.
If you animate arctic ice on NASA, it looks like we are below the long term trend. I would expect a severe melt in the next 1-2 Summers (like September kind of showed)
Nothing but positive 500mb in the Arctic for the next 15 days. It's stagnant though, this is weird to me because it seems to be from no ice (no atmosphere).
