Northern Annular Mode pressure-time cross-section for 1996/97 showing weak early season vortex and strong late season vortex.

With the imminent weak polar vortex/potential SSW, one similar recent(ish) year is 1996/97, which saw a very weak early season vortex (date-record weak U10-60 in Nov). 96/97 also had an established easterly QBO & cool ENSO Neutral/borderline La Niña. Extremely strong late-season vortex ensued.

Ooh thanks for suggestions will look into them..
I've got into the habit of using a heated foot pad when working 12hr nights from home during cold winter spells...the increased circulation it generates seems to be a help...trying to force myself to drink more water too as that's one thing lacking!.

Can just picture it now in homes and offices across the land, as the sale of magnifying glasses goes through the roof 👀🔍...

..a techical major #ssw or not?! 😅

Will be watching with interest over the weeks ahead, given we have so many weather drivers going into the winter months this year, which are in support of cold conditions:

1. Weak la nina
2. Well established E QBO
3. Strong W Pacific MJO
4. Very -IOD
5. Steadily weakening SPV

The start of a widely colder spell of weather..

Particularly chilly air in place this coming Thursday
