I keep seeing heartbreaking stories about people who spend years in grad school, apply to jobs, and only then learn that their dream job needs a skill they didn’t learn during grad school.

Daily Sea Surface Temperatures in the main El Niño region (ENSO 3.4) show clearly how El Niño developed gradually in 2023 and turned neutral in May this year.
It is still uncertain whether tropical Pacific temperatures will decrease enough for La Niña to be declared soon.
