  1. Past hour
  2. The earliest we reached Super El Niño Status was in August 30, 1997 until we broke that record two days ago on July 8th, 2026. Forecast plumes are predicting between +3.0C and +4.0C above average for Earth on top of the +1.5C that we have accumulated since pre-industrial, which are temperatures that we have never seen before. The extreme weather that is coming will be historical. EL NIÑO/SOUTHERN OSCILLATION (ENSO) DIAGNOSTIC DISCUSSION issued by CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER/NCEP/NWS 9 July 2026 ENSO Alert System Status: El Niño Advisory Synopsis: El Niño continues and will strengthen through the end of the year, with a 97% chance it will persist through early spring 2027. El Niño strengthened over the past month, with a large area of sea surface temperature anomalies in excess of +1.0°C across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific [Fig. 1]. The latest weekly Niño-3.4 index value was +1.2°C, with the westernmost (Niño-4) and easternmost (Niño-1+2) indices at +0.5°C and +2.7°C, respectively [Fig. 2]. The equatorial subsurface temperature index (average from 180°-100°W) increased [Fig. 3], as a recent downwelling Kelvin wave deepened the thermocline and raised temperatures in the eastern Pacific [Fig. 4]. Low-level westerly wind anomalies and upper-level easterly wind anomalies were observed over the western and central equatorial Pacific. Convection was enhanced over the central and east-central equatorial Pacific and was suppressed over Indonesia [Fig. 5]. The traditional and equatorial Southern Oscillation indices were significantly negative. Collectively, the coupled ocean-atmosphere system reflected a strengthening El Niño. The North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) average, including the NCEP CFSv2 [Fig. 6], forecasts El Niño to intensify through 2026. Alongside model forecasts, a strong coupling of the atmospheric and oceanic circulation across the Pacific contributes to very high confidence that El Niño will continue through early 2027 [Fig. 7]. There is an 81% chance of a very strong El Niño during October-December [Fig. 8] that would rank among the largest El Niño events in the historical record going back to 1950. Even the strongest El Niño events do not lead to the typical impact everywhere, but stronger events can more significantly tilt the odds in favor of expected outcomes (see CPC outlooks for probabilities of seasonal anomalies). In summary, El Niño continues and will strengthen through the end of the year, with a 97% chance it will last through early spring 2027. This discussion is a consolidated effort of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA's National Weather Service, and their funded institutions. Oceanic and atmospheric conditions are updated weekly on the Climate Prediction Center web site (El Niño/La Niña Current Conditions and Expert Discussions). A probabilistic strength forecast is available here. The next ENSO Diagnostics Discussion is scheduled for 13 August 2026.
  3. Today
  4. The purpose of the topic isn't to generate Pictures, but to get real locations thanks to IA, then show a real picture of the place
  5. When it happens, they'll tell us it's here today 😜
  6. Nice Hijack! I lived in Elko, NV as young child in the 70s. My grandfather and several uncles worked for Carlin Gold (later Newmont) across the valley from that facility. I remember driving by many times and admiring the infrastructure. I may have seen it in operation once. Later on in life I almost found my way into geophysics but it would have taken me away from Jehovah I think.
  7. Sorry to highjack this thread but the University of Nevada Reno had a Fire Science Academy in Carlin, next to Elko NV. I found a video that shows what we did for fire training each year.
  8. "Asteroid 2029, officially known as 99942 Apophis, is a massive near-Earth asteroid—roughly the size of the Empire State Building—that will safely skim past Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029. It will pass within approximately 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of Earth's surface, making it closer than our geostationary satellites." Wow, talk about fearful sights in the heavens exactly 2000 years after Jesus was baptized...😁
  9. I was in Operations at several oil refineries. I started as a unit operator, then an Operations Shift Supervisor, then an Operations Shift Superintendent. My job was to sit in an office in the Central Control Room making sure that everyone and everything did what it was supposed to do while the dayshift organization was sleeping 🤣
  10. June 2026 was hottest on record beating June 2024. From June 2023 to July 2024 for 14 consecutive months, earth broke records for warmest months. We will most likely see that record streak extend. June 2026 Global Temperature Update, Warmest June on Record +1.51°C Temperature Mean June (1880-1920)NASA Current Record (2026) (+1.51C) +1.48°C👆 For the Year Hottest year (2024) 1.56c Second hottest year (2025) 1.46c Third hottest year (2023) 1.45c +1.44°C👆 Last 12 Months
  11. Were you at UNR at Elko 20 years ago? I would go to Elko every year back then.
  12. We have crossed the +2.0C (+2.01C) and Earth is now in a Very Strong (Super) El Niño status. Will take a few months before we start feeling the maximum effects of it.
  13. Are you talking about my pic? I told it to use Northern California as the geo location.. this was my prompt: I like to think that's near Carmel..
  14. 😮😵‍💫 https://spaceweather.com/ I've been on this planet for three quarters of a century and I didn't even know the Earth HAD a mini moon. 🤭
  15. Ethylene oxide, glycol, ethers, amines, acetates, butene, synthetic oil, ethoxilates. I was one of the team leaders on Occidental corporate hazmat team, I taught Hazmat specialized in EO training, I instructed at Texas A&M, Pueblo Co. Elko Nevada, I was Captain and trained fire fighting, EMT for 20 years, certified in high angle rescue. Supervisor over logistics. Qualified in every ops job. What did you do?
  16. If Jehovah loved the world so much that he was willing to make His firstborn available as the ransom sacrifice, can we imagine how much He loves those who exercise faith in that ransom? 99.99% of the world that Jehovah loves do not love Him, or don't even believe in Him. So, how precious to Jehovah and Jesus are those who do love Him and want to have his approval. The most valuable thing you can offer to Jehovah as an expression of your love for him is your time. We all have the same amount of time each day. We can give it to Jehovah when we pray, attend meetings, speak to others in the ministry or informally, shepherd one another etc. Jehovah takes notice of every minute we give Him. And the sparrow that lands on the ground in search of food does not go unnoticed either. And, to be honest, if you or I don't make it ~ we won't know what we're missing anyway.
  17. The word "Imminent" was popular for several years...
  18. I, of course, do hope it comes this year. October would be wonderful. But the words soon, on the verge, around the corner etc are all part of the same language used for years. I’m not saying it’s wrong to hope the word soon means this year, but it’s all relative. This language was used back in the 1960’s as well. Just doing a simple search on WOL will show you that. In expectation of soon always, but also expecting it to be a while longer. We just don’t know.
  19. This is AI image... I want real place So discuss with your favorite AI, tell it about what you like as a scenery/place and ask for ideas to settle in Paradise.

  21. Yesterday
  22. My wife and I were talking about having friends over. when it coincidentally happens to be around sunset. So we go watch the sunset together. I'm not necessarily in a picturesque area. But my wife and I often go to the top of the parking garage across the street and we still watch the sunset and it does amazing things with the sky.
  23. I noticed in this broadcast they used the term "we are on the verge" (meaning of the GT) several times. No more is it "close", or "around the corner" or "soon", we are now "on the verge" of it. It seems to me that in the last 6 to 9 months, we are discussing how to prepare for the GT, how important it is to keep our unity and especially how important it will be for us to be obedient and always trust in Jehovah. It comes up in every meeting and broadcast and in the new study editions of the Watchtower in a consistent manner IMO. (By the way, the term "on the verge" means on the "brink or border" of something.) Remember, the earth is also on the verge of being completely ruined (AI data centers of sealed that fate for sure now), so Jehovah will have to act very quickly to keep that from happening as well.

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”
