The Times (UK) is attributing the heat records in some areas over the last few days to El Nino. This isn't particularly accurate; we are still in neutral-to-positive El Nino phase, and our best guess is that this El Nino event will be pretty modest. 1/3pic.twitter.com/iwitPR5psS
When El Nino does impact global temperatures, the effect tends to lag a few months behind the appearance of El Nino in the oceans. So we wouldn't really expect to see much impact of the current modest positive El Nino conditions for awhile. 2/3
Finally, despite record heat over some specific land areas, the globe as a whole (or the N. Hemisphere for that matter) isn't that unusually warm compared to what it has been over the past three years. 3/3pic.twitter.com/y6MFk69K6z
We have had La Nina years in the 21st century that were warmer than El Nino years in the 20th century.
