Great graphics and explanations!
👍🏼
Thank you for your update and I hope you know how much I sincerely appreciate your videos and for sharing your knowledge with us. Bless you and I hope you have a chance to enjoy the wonderful weekend weather as well 👍🌏
I remember in Portland 2015 El Nino year; the wettest December ever, 15 plus inches.
🍻
Michael, the graphs you showed of '97 and '23 in regards to ocean temps– mmm, WOW. Disturbing!
1996 Spokane suffered from an ice storm that caused power outage over a wide area for over a week the third week of November.
I remember the winter of 97-98 was really mild for Western Oregon.
Thank you so much for doing this update. I've been wondering how it's going with the El Nino development. Looks like we better be prepared for anything.
Thank the inventors of,
for the air cooler. 🥵
🤺💐
Enso I add another bit of weather dialect to my vocabulary. Thx
Thank you, Michael! What a wonderful video, very informative and explanatory! Will catch you in tomorrow morning's weather video, unless of course, you post another one tonight😃
So basically, we really don't know.. got it. 😂😂
Always appreciate when you tackle the Earth systems stuff. Becoming increasingly important as global heating starts to bite.
I'm really worried we're gonna have another indian summer but much worse than the last one
I remember 82 83 was epic here in so cal
I learned a bunch. Thank you sir. I love the way you present information. It's so easy to absorb.
Europe is in the middle of a huge heat wave now and temperatures in some places there may approach 120 degrees f. This is not "normal."
I remember winter of 98 on southern Oregon coast. We had very strong wind storms and sea level snow
Getting hot in San Jose too.. Thank you Kim for your awesome advice as usual!
Wow, a lot of great info., really helped me understand the situation. The data seems to change all the time! thank you for a great informational video.
Michael – You must be a mind reader because I was just thinking about this today. Thanks for update, I will believe you and only you on the El Nino actually happening 🙄 no going back to network news weather. Thanks again Michael
I think in all those big El Nino years he mentioned there were massive floods in my area. Winter of 97 and winter of 07 were both historic floods. I'm starting to think I could live on a boat 🤔
Oh, Boss, this is the perfect companion to the original ENSO video you did previously. I really think you deserve to be an adjunct professor of meteorology at UDUB. These, as you call them, educational videos really make weather real and totally understandable! ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent video. I agree with another comment that your coverage is so much better than the TV "chief meterologists". I grew up on a farm and, as a result, have always had a great interest in meterology and climate. Thank you, and keep up the great work.
Has there ever been a year with the same high global ocean temperatures like what we are seeing in 2023? That graphic was really alarming especially compared to 1997.
I grew up in Southern California and if I remember correctly, it was super hot in El Niño years.
It's really interesting to see the historic el nino data because of how alarming the ocean waters warmed up since then idk if the sun is getting bigger or were warming it up or the earths axis is shifting. but I think a major cool down like an ice age can happen because the earth is a living thing and it adjust to balance things out and some data says the earth warmed up like this before and then a cool down happened
97-98 was a beast! I lived in Santa Cruz. It started raining Christmas Eve and didn’t stop until July! Lol
I believe the blob was a big factor. (That’s what they called it). A strong high pressure up near Alaska and a big blob of warm waters was blocking the storms in 2015. If we do not have the blob…which I do not believe we do…we’ll have a monster winter in Cali.
Thank you Michael absolutely fascinating!
Oceans are warmer during nino, which means that the evaporation rates are higher, putting more moisture into the atmosphere, a warmer atmosphere holds more water vapor, hence increased evaporation
During the warmer months, the increased energy levels in the atmosphere cause the water vapor not to bind into larger droplets, whereas cooler atmosphere allows the water vapor to bind easier to create larger droplets
The blob is setting up off bc, marine heatwaves are hard on the marine life
"…Random variability still plays a role…."
That's why weather/earth scientists make forecasts, not predictions. They issue odds of something being true at particular moments or segments of time. Chance of an earthquake tomorrow? Extremely low. Within the next thirty years? Very high, yet not certain. Reading (Bayesian) odds calculations is confusing, for sure; and it requires a different frame of mind to weigh both likelihood and certainty that the hypothesis is correct.
Do you realize that even a la Nina today is warmer than an El Nino in the 90s. You should research ocean heat content
