Abnormally warm waters in the northern basins of both Pacific and Atlantic has a lot to do with how warm the NH is. Warmer water, greater release of water vapour.

Been a significant amount of cooling of the North Atlantic in recent weeks, months and in the last 12 months. This cooling, likely driven in large part to the near record strong polar vortex during February which stirred up a lot of storm activity which therefore forced a lot of upwelling. Could this ‘cooling’ have impacts on the rest of spring/summer, especially with the anticipated early demise of the PV?
