I was just going to do 2024, but 2023 had the biggest Earth Physics surprise of my life (that's a bit much), so I have to start from there.
The world temperature plot was down in the dumps.
Suddenly the sea temp took off like a rocket. I totally pooh-poohed this as a chart error. Was I wrong!
nooa became all focused At the Wrong Spot!. I didn't see it either. We were still cold in Toronto, and Arctic spills continued.
For the summer, we had endless wildfire smoke. blah. I put out ocean current maps, but never looked at the far west Pacific. I was an idjit.
I was certain we would freeze. We froze on our Tahiti vacation.
And there is was, the Great Red Spot that heated our world. When I glanced at the currents once, I saw a huge uniform current to the south, at the far west. I never recorded it, darn.
'23 closed out, and we had the warmest winter for a long time. No ice formed on the cottage lake. Everything I was blabbering about turned to ashes.
-- to be continued
ps. not doing '24. Just decaying heat, and when I thought we would have a good 'Texas Buster' blob, the action has shifted over to the middle of the Atlantic. Who cares?
