A cold pool has developed in the last six weeks off the coast off the coast of northwest Ireland and western Scotland. It’s incongruous, because at the moment the SSTSST Sea Surface Temperatures of the North Atlantic are at the second highest level since 1981, and possibly many hundreds of years before this. It’s expanded & consolidated a little more during the last week, but what’s behind it? Answers on a postcard to the usual address.😉
