Rapidly developing NATURAL El Nino with Pacific ocean temperatures soaring higher!

Summary
* Note: These statements are updated once a month (2nd Thursday of each month) in association
with the ENSO Diagnostics Discussion, which can be found by clicking here.
ENSO Alert System Status: El Niño Watch
ENSO-neutral conditions are observed.*
Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are near-to-above average across
most of the Pacific Ocean.
ENSO-neutral conditions are expected to continue through the Northern
Hemisphere spring, followed by a 62% chance of El Niño developing during May-
July 2023.

++++++++

As I've been saying this year, the atmosphere is already in an El Nino dynamic. The NOAA lagged indicator will tell us well after the fact.

Forget the 62% chance from NOAA. WE HAVE AN EL NINO RIGHT NOW!

The study below, confirms that most growing seasons with a developing strong El Nino have below average temperatures with average to above average rains.  Out of the 7 years with a similar, strong El Nino developing, 6 of them matched those characteristics.

Only 1 year, 1991 featured notably hotter and drier than average growing season weather when there was a strong El Nino developing!!!

That greatly increases the odds for above trend yields this Summer for all crops in the Midwest and potential for RECORD yields.
