Assuming the lighter the blue, the more recent the year, it looks like there have been several distinct step changes in sea-surface temps in the last four decades. Going to the source, my assumption is ...

It was one hell of a light show, but when I got up this morning, our outage map only showed three outages affecting 23 customers. 11 years ago, we probably would have had over 1000 customers without power. Amazing what proper line maintenance can do for reliability.
