Tropical plumes still hitting North America, but the cold is winning

 We are still getting hit hard by plumes generated in the West Pacific active heat zone, but now it is drawing in cold air, rather than the warm Gulf air.

Vancouver still gets soaked, but we aren't getting the warmth in Toronto.  The cold air is sweeping away all the warm air.  Still, we aren't getting super-cold clairslides because everything is so mucky.

The cold-air attack also takes place across the whole Pacific, so it is amazing that it can still hit us.

Perhaps the heat engine is still running at umpteen petawatts, but the total effect on us is weakening.  I wish we could measure these things, but that would require physics.  Amazingly, there wasn't a single word about that at coop26.
