Whatever happens going forward this year, all I will say is that so far, the Atlantic's +sst anomalies have really hit the ground running.
The main difference is that the Atlantic southwest of Iceland is far warmer than it has been on the same date in recent years:
Based on this, the AMO currently seems to be more + than it has been in recent years since 2016. But I expect that to reverse itself.
