right now suggests that this entire event is coming into its peak. So it's going to peak either basically within the next two to three weeks. So the end of November into early December, that's when we're expecting its peak. And it's going to, in its entirety, it's going to challenge or exceed the strongest monthly El Nino anomalies that we've ever seen recorded since 1950. So it's going to be, once it's all said and done, it's going to be historic El Nino. But as I mentioned a couple of signs minutes ago, one of the impacts was that we saw a sudden stratospheric warming event where the stratosphere warms and this creates because the vortex breaks down and essentially you get high pressure developing where there's low pressure and this eventually works its way down into the troposphere and it causes the jet stream to become all wonky. And then you can get blocking patterns emerge which allow cold weather.
