Mid-July SST Anomaly Update

I’ve moved to WordPress.  This post can now be found at Mid-July SST Anomaly Update
#################
This post uses weekly SST anomaly data (OI.v2) available through the NOAA NOMADS website:

The NINO3.4 SST anomaly is at 0.88 deg C, the same value it was two weeks ago.

Global SST anomalies have dropped a little over the past few weeks.

It is likely that NINO3.4 SST anomalies will increase over the next four to five months. It is unlikely (but not impossible) for the Global SST anomalies to continue their decline while NINO3.4 SST Anomalies are rising.
