I’ll take another 5-7 degrees in the warm season!

Even last year with this SSTA map... we had an arctic blast in the middle of January. SEA had a 22/15 day on 1/13/24.

It's heavily implied. Articles such as Florida cities are going to be underwater soon and whatnot.

The problem like I said, is partly the suddenness of the change. Once things really warm up, the whole zone of viable agriculture will shift north. but northern zones don’t have good soil because it was scoured by glaciation…and soil takes a very long time to form.

That was a horrifically awful Nina pattern. The ridge was just too flat over the Pacific. Last month we had an AL which is very different and a hallmark of Nino winters.
