Was never going to be am El Nino, they connect in may with very strong negative SOI, and of course this one didn't.
And there goes next years warmest year ever again..its all downhill now with some cooling in the subsurface that will surface by the end of January.
The biggest problem is data deniers rely on February being well above average in the Arctic, its the main month to push the global temperatures up after a warm Pacific peaks in December.
Bu not this year sunshine, this year the Arctic is still colder than normal. And the window is almost closed, as the Arctic temperatures cant get above normal in the NH summer, that is because CO2 is so special, it chooses which months it likes to warm the Arctic.
Of course this is what they hope for, like it was in 2016 on the back of the Super Nino. And now, we are back right where we started, and falling again as water vapour starts to decrease. No El Nino, no warming, pretty simple, but then again, what sort of person believes 0.04% of the atmosphere can control the oceans, which holds 99.7% of the thermal energy on Earth? Wait till next year, should be even better.
