🌊 Preliminary NOAA OISST data show Niño 3.4 setting records for 108 consecutive calendar days—far more than a one-day spike. Daily values alone don’t define El Niño strength, but this persistence is remarkable and worth watching closely. 🌡️ #ElNiño #Climate #OceanScience
Breaking News!
Code UFB!!!
Yesterday's (preliminary) Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature just broke past 3.0°C above the 1991-2020 baseline!
This marks the 108th consecutive daily record, is 1.07°C above the previous daily record set in 1997, and is 4.02σ above the baseline.
