SST'S and Anomalies in Atlantic and Pacific

I have to confess all here that I haved never seen the Atlantic basin so warm being may.If I have to compare with one year that may be 1995.

Bumping for all to look how the sst's are doing and how will Dennis will move thru those very warm waters.

The water in the northeast is warm for this time of year 66 in plymouth harbor

Dennis left some cooler anomalys in the EGOM as it is seen at anomaly map above but as the strong July sun is there those waters will be warming again.Also part of the NW Caribbean cooled.

Bump, because the Gulf Stream is cooking!

I should bump this again… since we might have Franklin soon.

73 degrees off of buzzards bay

94 degree water off LA coast...kinda shallow but still...

The water here along the east coast of Florida even seems to be a little warmer than usual at the beaches. Usually it runs around 80 this time of year, but after surfing the other day it feels more like 84-85.

Water temp at clearwater this morn was 93 Crazy warmer than my pool

[Innotech]

its funny looking back when it lookedl ike an EL nino and people were writing this season off as a failure.

[Hurricaneman]

Bump for near record water temps

Bump for near record water temps

You're getting carried away; it's above normal to be sure, but 1C to 1.5C above normal doesn't constitute "near record".

[Hurricaneman]

Things are really boiling for td9

[Hurricaneman]

Bump for warm water off the east coast

With all of the heat and sunshine over much of the SE in the wake of
Ophelia, I'm leaning toward a pretty decent rebound in nearby SST anomalies shortly off of the SE coast.

Bump

Interesting what is going on in the equatorial pacific in relation with the SSTA'S and how they are in el nino 1-2 and in el nino 3 also in part of el nino 4 where they look to be pretty cool represented by the blue color at graphics.



The temps are running around -0.5c to -1.0c at el nino 1-2 from 95w to 120w,at el nino 3 area from 121w to 140w and at part of el nino 4 that goes to the dateline.But this does not mean that la nina is waking up in a big way however it signifies that el nino will have a hard time appearing anytime soon as the ENSO models haved said in the recent november update.

IN other words let's watch in the next 3 to 6 months how the pacific waters evolve into to then say with more precision if the summer of 2006 will have el nino around,will stay neutral or will la nina wake up but time will tell in the next few months.

Turning to the Atlantic Basin the latest graphic of anomalys show a not cooling trend as in recent weeks.Look at the COA anomalys as they are around +2.0c.And in the MDR and in the subtropical Atlantic area they are between +1.0-+1.5c.Let's see in the following weeks how the Atlantic anomalys do as the 2006 hurricane season draws closer and it may be a key factor in terms of more activity in the Basin.

just what we need... a la nina on top of at least a multi-decadal active cycle.

In recent la ninas, this has meant an increased risk to the East Coast
