Up near 90 in the waters around southwest Florida.
Fuel for rapid intensification if a hurricane tracks over that area with no wind sheer and optimal conditions.

This is an anomaly map showing temps compared to average. Some very unusual temperature configurations.
1. Note the VERY warm Atlantic
2. Note the warm water El Nino in the Eastern tropical Pacific.
3. Note the unusually cool water off the West Coast-really strange.
4. Note the intense warm blob in the Northeast Pacific.
The warm blob north of the cold in the Pacific is causing a strongly negative -PDO!
This is very odd. Usually, strong El Nino's like this upcoming one feature a positive +PDO and warmer water where there is cold water right now:

Note the maps below with a typical -PDO on the right........during LA NINA's!
The El Nino anolog on the left features cold anomalies to the north and warm water along the West Coast and a +PDO.
It's a total disconnect with how the pattern looks historically.

I haven't searched around for any explanations for this oddity, maybe Larry has seen some.
HA! I WAS JUST LOOKIN' AT THE MAP
Many scientists think that the warm waters in the Atlantic are what caused the Dust Bowl and other droughts in the US.

Speaking of heat, almost half of the all time hottest temperatures for each individual state were set in the 1930's AND STILL STAND in 2023.

Since this graph above was made, in the last 20 years (since 2000) the following states have made their all time record highs: CO, SD, SC, OR and WA.

Lot's of attention going to these record warm temps in the Atlantic

Up around 90 off the Florida Coast! WOW!

Larry brought this topic up earlier in the year and it couldn't be more relevant right now.
Especially the last post that covers Cornbelt Summer weather.
