So I know there's a lag time with response to things like the NAO turning negative, etc. I'm assuming there is a lag time for the MJO as well?
Yes there definitely is. This lag is dependent on a lot of things (like the current state of the circulation pattern, the speed and amplitude of the mjo, time of year, enso state, etc.,) but it’s usually in the ballpark of a week or two.
