Strong jet stream for California:

Then, during the final week of January, there is an emerging model ensemble consensus that an burst of jet stream energy from the West Pacific will propagate eastward across the entire basin, forcing the Pacific storm track southward from Northern California and bringing enhanced precipitation to the entire state.

should mean more El Niño influence for the rest of the country

Enhanced El Niño storm track has finally emerged; Active pattern likely throughout California next 2-3 months : California Weather Blog

Maybe the water will be warm enough to swim in late summer?

Yes, I too have noticed forecasts for most of East Asia is for really cold air for the latter part of the week. Almost like a polar vortex. Temps not getting out of the 40's F (single digits in C) in Hong Kong!!

(Hong Kong is entirely in the tropics and closer to the equator than Miami, Havana, Rio de Janeiro.)

Hopefully. Last couple of summers the southern shoreline temps of Lake Michigan peaked in the mid 70's but were frequently in the low 70's and even the upper 60's in 2014. Typically shoreline temps peak in the upper 70's to 80 degrees which for me is more tolerable to swim in.

Anyone else notice that ever since the "polar vortex" of January 2014, people are using that term now like it's a new thing? I swear people use "polar vortex" to describe any kind of below normal weather now. I never heard anyone use it before 2014, even though it's something that has been around forever obviously.

25 F high, 15 F low in Shanghai this coming weekend. Impressive for 31 north parallel at sea level.

English language forum, so the US (eastern US especially) and western Europe dominate the thread.
