Small heat event in the East Pacific

 These things have been going up and down all summer.


You can see the interior disturbance, but it is only spinning out large storms.  In previous such events there have been a lot of small vortexes in the mass.  I have associated this with a burst of heat energy that affects the global temperature plots.



In the large context you can see the cold water about to quench the fires.  And the Atlantic is showing the large cold swirls that first appeared in the Pacific.  Once again, this is 'unprecedented' for me, at least.  We should be getting good winter camping weather soon.

 ps.  meanwhile, a cold Arctic blob coming down on us signals the end of our summer.



Good thing Europe has some heat.
