First, thanks for all the ENSO Blogs, which are a significant source of scientific information for people worldwide. I really enjoy the thought process and the discussions on every post. 

Could you please comment on the influence of the abnormally warm Atlantic SSTs affecting the Walker Circulation under El Niño conditions? In the last few days, the Atlantic Main Development Region (MDR) for hurricanes has reached record high temperatures (higher than in 2005), and NOAA CPC is predicting near-normal 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. Under moderate or strong "El Nino" conditions, the hurricane season "should be" mild. 

And finally, how do you think that the warm Atlantic SSTs and their influence on the atmospheric circulation will affect the precipitation patterns in South America under "El Niño" conditions?
