Because global SSTs will only increase as El Niño develops, the oceans may see a horrific 5σ SST massive heating event this year or next.

5σ = 1-in-3,490,000.

We're currently at 4.47σ.

Physicists use 5σ anomalies as proof of existence. E.g. Higgs boson.https://t.co/9G6PVnjWeh pic.twitter.com/6PgxMeAcEl
