The textbook fingerprint of El Niño is now visible in last month's sea surface temperature anomalies. El Niño is not a storm, but a natural pattern of climate variability. This redistribution of heat can influence weather worldwide, but is still hard to clearly disentangle.

Never got around to answering this.

When you’re displaying data from a bunch of personal weather stations with no control over how they are installed, you have no idea what the “real” or “right” values are.
🤔 anyone want to explain what’s going on here?

Wednesday El Niño update - it continues to develop as expected, and its imprint on the large-scale atmospheric circulation is showing up more clearly. For this week, I also want to reiterate the importance of avoiding the El Niño hype (& 'scary' AI-graphics) and finding trustworthy sources of info.
