#3 Government researchers have been tracking heat waves for more than 100 years.

And have been caught 'adjusting' number in recent years.

#4 High Sunspot counts for the last few months over previous years. 2023 has broken a 21-year record for the highest number of sunspots, and this year is only half way through.

This almost always results in higher than normal temperatures here on Earth. Not only more heat received from the Sun, but increased magnetic flux which affects our weather patterns significantly.

#5 The movement of currents north and south of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone accounts for the movement and strength of the El Nino and La Nina phases. Their movements have a direct impact on climate and have been recognized for more than a century. (In one important case it was cause for the elimination of the sardine fishing and canning industry in Peru.)

#7 It seems Solar Cycle 25 is still beating the "expert" and historical data predictions, in numbers and strength.

The Earth (climate included) has had an increasing number of Class M and X solar flares?

So, 2025 should be interesting.

#9 One good thing about La Nina, if you like fresh sushi and live on the west coast, the cold waters bring the deep fish - the sushi fishes - closer to shore. La Nina = Good Sushi (west coast):

During La Niña, waters off the Pacific coast are colder and contain more nutrients than usual. This environment supports more marine life and attracts more cold-water species, like squid and salmon, to places like the California coast.
