Download The Climate Impact Company August, September and October Climate Outlooks
Observational trends indicate the cool pool of ocean water across the northern North Pacific and north-central North Atlantic are weakening. The cool pools are linked to the Great Lakes upper trough pattern present during late spring and early summer. The NMME global SSTA forecast indicates the cool pools will continue to fade while the North Pacific and North Atlantic warm. The warmer SSTA pattern in the middle latitude ocean(s) imply stronger subtropical ridging causing a warmer-than-normal climate pattern. Therefore each of the next 3 months are adjusted warmer in the latest Climate Impact Company month 1-3 ahead forecast. The Gulf region is wet possibly due to influence of tropical cyclones while areas to the north are likely drier than normal possibly causing drought expansion.
