A bit of a personal post on my end. This was a few years in the making but had to postponed several times due to the passing of my mom during Covid and obviously the continuation of Covid until we are safe to travel. And also why I made this trip back to the home country for the first time in 20 years.
This was taken at Central Highlands of Vietnam in Da Lat early morning. The fog and mists was just like home.
This niño definitely isn’t collapsing the way 1998 did. Cold tongue is more pronounced like 1973 and 1988.
Overall, 2010 is still the best global SSTA match.
Note how 1998 still had the raging EPAC warm anomaly (and maintained it into the summer). So I think the LF signature of tropical forcing will be displaced into the E-Hem as the niña establishes (relatively speaking).
Yeah Atlantic influence actually helps at this time of year. Water temps similar to late Nov at this point in the seasonal cycle.
That script flips completely by midsummer, though.
