temperature anomaly expected to hit 4C (about 1C higher than previous record)
another measure of El Nino “extreme” is length of time above 2C deviation (and 29C absolute), which is already comparable to 2015, and forecast to be more than double for 29C absolute time. Time pumping heat into atmosphere/air from ocean matters just as much as peak pumping amount. Though near 31C ocean temperature peak in deep water is very extreme as well.
