New ECMWF data shows the *strongest subtropical jet stream* in its forecast history blowing across the Pacific and U.S. this winter into next spring, with record-strength winds predicted from California to Florida. There's even a connection to Europe. El Niño fuels more thunderstorms near the equator, which release heat high into the atmosphere. That extra warmth strengthens the Hadley circulation and steepens the temperature gradient between the tropics and the mid-latitudes, which strengthens the subtropical jet. And that's why such a stormy winter is anticipated across the western, southern and eastern United States.

Super El Niño 🔥is raging across the Equatorial Pacific -- likely the strongest in 1,000 years, and you're alive to witness its magnitude and power. Shields up! However, this stunning map shows "cooler blue🟦" over 2/3rds of the Lower 48 this winter for temperatures --> due to Pacific storm systems like "ice storms" and "atmospheric rivers" from a firehose / pineapple express🍍which will lead to Nor'easters (blockbuster blizzards). Meteorologists now have the "answer key" for the upcoming winter, and there is no going back. This is "baked in the cake" and will unfold exactly as we feared: planetary warmth is higher in the background, and put a turbocharged and super-moist atmosphere on top. Prepare for perhaps the craziest winter in your lifetime, until the next one in the early 2030s.
