Straight out of a meteorology textbook. Super Storm Slams #Iceland with wind gusts over 100 mph and a pressure of 930mb - equivalent to a Major #Hurricane! It has a classic comma head. The #storm is hitting Northern #Europe now.

🌀 Isaias “Sting Jet” 🛩️ Notice the strongest winds💨 were way west of the eye wall? That’s because the storm ingested a narrow and violent jet stream from high above on the storm’s west side and that rapidly descended to the ground. The models advertised it well…

Three storms reach land this weekend and all three crossed water running well above normal. Isaías went depression to 120 mph major hurricane in about two days. Rachel has San Diego under only its second tropical storm watch in history. Simon should be a major hurricane near Puerto Vallarta.

The Atlantic went four months without a hurricane. The first formed this morning, headed for the Gulf. Isaías went from depression to hurricane in a day, over the warmest Gulf water on record. AND Rachel will dump heavy rain from California to Utah.

They had to move the y axis The El Niño chart topped out at 30C. The 2026 line went through the top and they extended the axis to 31. Warmest water ever measured there, and it does not peak until December. Wet California, dry Australia, probably the warmest year on record in 2027.

High tide flooding on the U.S. coast happens three times as often as it did in 2000. The tide did not change. The ocean came up. El Niño is about to add a decade's worth of sea level in a few months. That part goes back. The rest does not.

When climate scientists say things are going to be horrendous, people find out many years later that we’re right. With this El Niño, the “find out” part will come in months.

Ecological impacts, global mean surface temperature, etc… so the metric you use depends on what you are trying to communicate. I’ll also add: the relative index obscures the climate warming signal because it basically subtracts it. So it’s not ideal in all cases.

A changing climate. 90% of heat retained in the climate system is stored in our oceans. That is now surfacing, and being released in our 2026 event. It’s why it’s a much more impressive warming of the east Pacific and that heat does have tangible impacts to more fuel for heat waves, heavier rains…

How relatively warm the event is tells us the expected intensity of the atmospheric response to the event. So this year will prob be on par (a little stronger) than 1997 and 1982. But there’s more to it. The raw ocean anomalies (and subsurface heat) have their own story to tell. It’s a story of

Relative (RONI) tells us how the event compares with the other warming ocean basins. And puts it into perspective - how warm is the El Niño to the other oceans at the time of the event. And here we see it’s much closer: bsky.app/profile/raro...

There’s a debate going on over on X. Which metric to use when talking El Niño. It’s complicated. Let’s start here. This is the excess heat available to each event. Clearly 2026 is far ahead (32% more excess heat than 1997). But that doesn’t tell the whole story. The reason we use the relative index

For years 90% of excess heat being retained by our climate system - due to the blanket of carbon pollution - has been going into the oceans. Much of that ends up in the West Pacific Warm Pool, so when the trades slacken and the Pacific rearranges itself, that heat comes back to haunt us. #elnino

It’s astonishing how far ahead the 2026 El Niño is. The red line is 2026. The other warmest El Niños are the colored lines. It’s not even playing in the same league. Some of this is of course due to this natural El Niño cycle on top of long-term ocean warming… 1/

Ospreys are disappearing along the US East Coast due to a shortage of Atlantic menhaden, a crucial food source for ospreys. One company alone harvested nearly 300 million pounds of the fish in 2024 but somehow claims they’re not at fault. 🧐

Ospreys are disappearing along the East Coast. Scientists think they know why.
At the center of a widening crisis for one of the nation's great wildlife comebacks is a fish most Americans would hardly recognize.

Two more high tide cycles of minor flooding ahead, however, conditions are quickly improving. 16th highest water level recorded in Montauk, New York. It’s important to realize we have seen nearly a foot of sea level rise since 1940 and that rate is accelerating.
