Nov/Dec maintained the weak niña base state, but that regime imploded in January. It was quite remarkable, actually.
By February, the niño-costero signal was stronger than the preceding niña ever was. Then it abruptly collapsed in May/June, and a more substantial EPAC niña signal emerged during summer 2017 (though it was still disconnected from the PMM/IPWP state..the entire system state appeared disheveled and confused in the years following the 2015/16 super niño).
I figured you guys would have some intellectual curiosity on that front, but apparently people would rather cling to preconceived notions because of how the weather behaved in their backyards. Sad.
Lake Washington with Puget Sound in the distance.
Took off to the north then turned east right over downtown Seattle. We usually take off going south from SEA. But we usually fly in the cold season and the wind is typically from the SW in the winter. North wind today and I guess they prefer to take off into the wind.
I digress, as evidenced by my non-response.
We all have our own unique oddities. Sometimes those oddities are weird weather preferences, sometimes it’s other stuff. No amount of debate on a weather forum will change that.
