This is the time of year when ENSO predictability is low so definitely a bit early for making forecasts for what what phase we'll see next

There is often criticism of weather forecasts and seasonal outlooks but the accuracy of predictions has improved greatly over recent decades theconversation.com/despite-what-y… with Kimberley Reid, Michael Barnes + Nick Earl

Now that one-minute ASOS station data is available for the US for Monday's solar eclipse, here's a loop of the 30-minute temperature change from the eclipse.

Even locations far from totality experienced a pronounced drop in temperatures due to the decreased solar radiation!
