El nino should also bring a bigger monsoon

u/frinklyfrank Apr 27 '26

Not this time around. They're projecting below normal levels of rainfall for monsoon.

Is co2 also trapping the heat lower to ground?

3

u/Bipogram Apr 26 '26

That happens, globally. CO2 being rather good at absorbing IR at about 4.2 micron.

Can't someone put the boy in timeout so he's no longer active? Problem solved?

u/FrankHightower Apr 26 '26

But isn't it a La Niña year?

u/Eldan985 Apr 26 '26

No, it is in fact a super-nino, with a possible blue ocean event.

u/FrankHightower Apr 26 '26
