[QUOTE="jacorian, post: 77206006, member: 447408"] As someone in the field, the oceans are not boiling. We have just completed a 3 year La Nina stint which is actually a cool patch that goes from Peru to Australia. The remains of this patch now in retreat may have partially contributed to the cold rains & snow on the west coast. Normally it is El Nino which brings Ca any rain. Cool SSTs are now in retreat & it appears an El Nino might be advancing. This is caused by weakening of the trade winds & downwelling off Peru. In the subtropical latitudes ocean waters are fairly warm as it is while in the tropics will get well into the 80s. [/QUOTE]
