It is Interesting to note the
sea surface temperature of the Pacific Ocean west of the PNW
for June 20, 2010, as compared to the same for June 13,
2009. Much COLDER SSTs are noted for Pacific, relative to
last year. A mild La Nina is also setting up in the Pacific
tropical zone (look west of South America) - which is
opposite of last year at this time. Also, compare Atlantic
sea surface temps west of Africa and in the Caribbean / Gulf
of Mexico 2009 to 2010. Much warmer water can fuel tropical
depressions into stronger storms. |
