00:02We just set the record for the most accumulated cyclone energy in the eastern North Pacific on record.
00:08So the eastern North Pacific has been extremely busy, especially since we got to the latter part of September.
00:15The eastern Pacific is a very warm basin off the coast of Mexico.
00:20West of there, there's usually a bit of a gradient, you know, going from really warm to cooler across the
00:27Pacific.
00:27And that's just not there this year.
00:30There's some just really warm water hanging out west of there by several degrees Fahrenheit.
00:37Storms are lasting longer because as they form off the coast of Mexico, the ones that are going westward usually
00:44encounter cooler SSTs, sea surface temperatures and stronger vertical wind shear.
00:50The how winds change with height that can destroy storms.
00:53Because of El Nino, a very strong El Nino, we have much warmer waters and lower vertical wind shear.
01:00So these storms are able to last much, much longer across the Pacific.
01:05So we have to fill out the underpć.
01:06We have to make sure that we're going to leave the alarm informs.
01:09So we can see.
01:09Those storms are coming from Jose.
01:13Well, in Sis.
