Kingarabian, when will the trade winds increase again?

Re: ENSO Updates
The upcoming CCKW and possibility of it being followed by MJO passage makes me skeptical we’ll get strong trades for a few weeks.

Models will probably start to show strong trades around the mid June mark for July. There will be above average trades for the next week or less followed by very weak trades until about mid June.
Hard to see any drastic ENSO change. SOI remains positive and we've yet to record a negative daily in more than 30 days. May should end above the +8 La Nina threshold.
Years like 2006 and 2009 that had late spring El Nino's, had negative SOI's during May and the thermocline was much more suppressed.

Re: ENSO Updates
Latest CFS wants to bring Nino 3.4 back up to -0.3C by July before dropping again.
Kinda skeptical because the downwelling KW on PENTAD seems to be stagnant and is weakening in strength.

So 1989 did have Hugo but it was an average season by numbers.
Also, when looking at costliest/destructive seasons on record, only 2008 makes the list as #8

Agreed, I was simply expanding on the original post

Careful about using cost to determine the destructiveness of a season; such a metric is inevitably biased towards more recent seasons, primarily due to inflation and population growth near coastlines. In particular, 1893's storm count is likely undervalued due to the lack of modern technology, and yet it was still one of the most deadly and destructive seasons of all time in the North Atlantic. 1955's (#7 on that list) season was also the costliest of all time when it occurred and was responsible for the deaths of over a thousand people. 1950 (#8) was also very active, with several landfalling hurricanes on the contiguous United States and in the Caribbean; not to mention 2008, which featured all but one tropical cyclone affecting land to some degree.
While yes, you are correct in saying that 1989 was not quite as active, that was likely due to the ongoing -AMO event (whether AMO is natural or based upon anthropogenic aerosols is a debate for a different channel) and so generating a storm as fierce and destructive as Hugo is still impressive. A similar argument can be made for 1971 (#10) as well, though it had a little more activity overall.
This is not to say that this measurement is foolproof; even with modern technology 1890 (#6) would likely still be a below-average season, and 1873 (#9) and 1910 (#5) likely wouldn't be above average either, despite their powerful late-season storms. However, it would be silly to discount it outright without considering context for each season and the numerous fatalities/powerful landfalling systems that these seasons brought.
Anyway, this has gotten quite a bit astray from the topic in question, and I apologize for letting myself get away a bit from the focus of this thread. Back to watching warm subsurface pool changes in the Pacific!

Good points, however I just wanted to add that death counts for older seasons are always going to be much higher because of the lack of communications/warning systems compared to today and weaker infrastructure. Even with the population growth near coastlines you will almost never see a death count today comparable to 100 years ago which is obviously very good, however it makes it a poor metric for comparison for the destructiveness of a system.
Anyways I would like to apologize too for getting slightly off-topic; like you said, back to monitoring blue and red patterns on the sea.

La Nina's impacts continue. This is quite a robust pattern in today's climate and is indicative to the entrenchment of the Nina.
As someone living near Portland, complete flip from the 2014-2019 +PDO regime.

Re: ENSO Updates
2010, not coincidentally, was one of the strongest Ninas observed and set within a broader -PDO regime.

Re: ENSO Updates
OISST and CDAS showing Nino 3.4 climbing this past week to near -0.65C. That would be a big jump if the CPC agrees on Monday. Nonetheless by July 1st, Nino 3.4 will likely begin to drop and eventually get back closer to -1.0C.

Re: ENSO Updates
The latest weekly as well as May, 2022, overall, were the coldest for their respective periods in Nino 3.4 since 1999:

Monthly:

Related to this, the met. spring SOI of +16.8 was the 2nd highest on record by a good margin going back to 1876. Only 1917's +18.3 was higher:

Re: ENSO Updates: CPC 6/6/22 update has Niño 3.4 up to -0.9C
Should start decreasing again I believe. The heatwave in Texas firing up is indicative of a strengthening La Niña presence once again. IMHUO

I think the heatwave could also be the result of the strong La Nina that has been ongoing throughout spring. The effects are just now becoming evident with the strengthening ridge.
