Record warm ocean temperatures continued in September across the North Pacific Ocean, with a number of consequential impacts (including on downstream weather patterns).

This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every September from 1854-2025 using @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 data.

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each September from 1850 through 2025 for only the midlatitude region of the North Pacific Ocean. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2025 is a record high.

A much drier 10 days ahead as high pressure takes control. Looks like it could well be a 'cloudy high' at times but it will give us a rest from high rainfall totals.

If you've arrived for the game early, then you will see some heavy rain initially and some strong winds. As we head towards kick-off time, the rain will turn showery and the winds will slowly ease, but it will still remain quite windy. #oafc

🥳 Good news: High pressure looks set to build in from late-Tuesday and hopefully last a week. A much-needed break from the rain.

Oldham Weather @chadweather.bsky.social · 4d

Here comes that organised band of heavy, persistent rain with strong winds.

Oldham Weather @chadweather.bsky.social · 4d

The good news is, we go into a more settled & drier spell for the next 7-10 days after today. Some rain but not much. A breather after a wet September and start to October.
