A study published in Nature Communications shows that global warming may trigger an abrupt shift in the tropical climate system towards stronger and more predictable El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycles, intensifying climate impacts across the globe.

The last sentence resonated with me most. We now have a TC ensemble, in addition to hurricane regional models, capable of forecasting high-end TC intensity.
In Melissa's case, combo of HAFS-A/B & Google DeepMind increased confidence in a Category 5 forecast.
Human interpretation & NWP still vital.

One of the realities of climate change in the Yukon is that the clear skies and deep cold of 30 years ago are gone - winters are much warmer and the skies are often cloudy. That makes a full-spectrum SAD light an important self-care tool for some of us to deal with the darkness.

Kinda wild to see increasing model support for a tropical cyclone in the western Atlantic heading into December. The Gulf has warmed back to near record levels for this time of year. Hopefully drought relief is the main impact if it materializes.

Kinda interesting to compare water year precipitation with snowpack at a continental scale. Most of the western US has been very wet since October 1, but there is almost no snowpack anywhere except at the very highest elevations because it has been so ridiculously warm. #hydrology #wx

We might be in a La Niña at the moment, but the tropical troposphere already looks very El Niño-like with a huge build-up of deep-layer westerly wind anomalies
In the grand scheme of things, El Nino is likely knocking on the door 🚪
