The maps show how El Niño commonly affects Northern Hemisphere winter and summer climate patterns around the globe. Notice that there are no consistent impacts on North America during the summer months, while areas around the tropics and Southern Hemisphere subtropics (Australia, for example) experience impacts in both seasons.
Well, El Nino is a phenomenon in the pacific ocean. It being strong enough to have a direct effect on Europe would mean we are pretty much fucked.
Europe is mostly affected by the gulf stream, which: surprise motherfucker, is also having very strong variances due to the climate collapse in the last years.
Wow, I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a map that splits down the Atlantic ocean vs Pacific! Really threw my brain off for a moment having the Americas off to the right side, rather than the left. I can definitely see why it was done that way, but just so odd to realize how infrequently I encounter maps drawn that way.
Pretty sure that it depends on where you live.

Yeah. Actually, according to this, it doesn’t typically affect summer weather in North America. Huh.

Oh wow, that’s pretty interesting. Weather is weird!
And nothing in Europe at all?

And let’s wait and see if the gulf steam soon gets tired and needs to sleep for a millennium.

That’s awesome! It’s different enough from the “standard” maps, though, that it doesn’t confuse my brain the way moving the “seam” does.
That is a badass projection method! I don’t think I’ve seen it before.
So this is the year for a summer Japan trip, got it.
