So that would be 2017-2023 ?
So those would be the years since the last El Niño (2014-2016), I wonder how it compares ? (Did we even have the measurement infrastructure during that previous cycle ??)
- ghaff 3y agoIn general, I wish people would avoid >100% increase type formulations. Like biweekly, it confuses a lot of people, even if they should probably know better (or aren't sure if the person writing it used it correctly).

- hglman01 3y agoEl Nino is collapsing quickly; el nina is forecast by summer now. https://iri.columbia.edu/our-expertise/climate/forecasts/enso/current/?enso_tab=enso-cpc_plume https://iri.columbia.edu/our-expertise/climate/forecasts/ens...
