Whoa nice 👌 l've been to Johor Malaysia and Singapore the afternoon tropical storms were nice but brief. The thunder over there is different it doesn't do a long rumble like here more like a sharp clap.
O.k. now back to roasting us about lack of snow for next season or some mild predictions. :x :(

Both the GFS and GEM want to build another heat ridge next week. The Euro, however, continues to insist upon a trough diving into BC.
I don't think we should be cheering for a heat wave right now.
Just my opinion.

Beautiful photos from everyone who saw the lights.

Here's mine. It's nowhere near as nice as everyone else's, but I'm still happy I saw it.

I hate any kind of heat and generally agree with you. However, cheering one way or the other has no impact on how the weather will go. So, cheer away for what you like, in my opinion.

The latest CPC ENSO discussion from yesterday pegged the value of the ENSO 3.4 SST at 0.3C. That's in the neutral ENSO range :)

This was taken from the weekly ENSO outlook discussion as well
CPC considers El Niño or La Niña conditions to occur when the monthly Niño3.4 OISST
departures meet or exceed +/- 0.5ºC along with consistent atmospheric features. These
anomalies must also be forecasted to persist for 3 consecutive months

Does anyone have maps/predictions for rainfall for this spring and summer? Wondering about hay prices this fall.
