Enjoy our blast of heat from the West Pacific

 We are enjoying a great 'one day wonder' of heat from the exotic West Pacific.

These tropical plumes are coming straight across the Pacific, and are 'herded' by northern winds so that the trajectory is low and flat.  Needless to say, this is rare.

It hits NA with a ton of momentum, and will cause a plume in the Atlantic that might even warm up Europe for a bit.  

Since it is a warm event, we will call this 'clange'.  When this pattern collapses, we will call it 'winter'.
