NOAA presents the Great Elvis Nino - one night only

 I was thinking about a flop, but Elvis has spiked the charts.  


If you just go by their useless charts, the Colonel can tout 'Hottest July Ever', even though that is just a spike.  However, this will splash on the news, and more windmills will go up, and natgas prices will go down.

If we go by the more standard chart, that has been in use since 'Hockey Stick-gate', then a different picture comes up.


Next month, the first useless plot goes way down, and we won't hear about it.  That's because the plots are so spiky.  In this plot, July is below the March spike, and below 2016.  An up-spike the crowds cheer, way down and nothing is heard.

Spencer showed this spike, as well, but it doesn't have enough heat energy to affect the sea levels.  This spike was caused by a small section of the Pacific with wide coherent current flow, which caused 'heat volcanoes'.  They spewed up dry heat into the upper 'weather layer' and that warmed up the numbers.  According to physics, we are still good to freeze the Thames.

All the big El Nino super-stars had a wide run-up, showing the huge amounts of heat energy.  I'm afraid that this Elvis is a one-hit wonder, even though that's better than just being a ghost.  Elvis goes to the Great Graceland in the Sky next month.

ps a good charge to the heart by Dr. Nick-NOAA keeps him going for another song, maybe.

pps - Dr. Nickynooa used the good stuff....
