U.S. will be warmer than normal in early 2008, says weather service

Posted at 3:37 PM on 20 Dec 2007

The drought in the southeastern U.S. will keep on keepin' on at least through March, according to a 90-day outlook from the National Weather Service. In fact, the agency predicts above-normal temperatures for most of the U.S. from January to March, thanks to La Niña and "recent trends." Ooh, mysterious.

Tide Levels

I was trying to find if 2007 was a year of high tides as predicted with >66% confidence by IPCC IV.

I found this site

http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/station_retrieve.shtml?t ...

But it's rather cumbersome to use.

One interesting page was this, a plot of variation from mean sea level:

Here's a map of sea level anomalies for North America -- there were almost none and there were more low anomalies than high:

And we know there were no cyclones this year:
