After over a year of record-high global sea temperatures, the equatorial Atlantic is cooling off more quickly than ever recorded, which could impact weather around the world
"Nobody knows why?" ah come on, there are plenty of scientist researches and theories, explaining exactly this scenario. For the tl;dr group: rewatch "the day after tomorrow"! (But not this fast and dramatically).
Yes but mysteries get clicks.
Key points:
Temperatures in that part of the Atlantic cooled off more rapidly than at any time in records extending back to 1982. This sudden shift is perplexing because the strong trade winds that normally drive such cooling have not developed.
