Mission accomplished: Sea levels drop a quarter of an inch

Weather cycles cause a drop in global sea level, scientists find - The Washington Post

The global sea level this summer is a quarter of an inch lower than last summer, according to NASA scientists, in sharp contrast to the gradual rise the ocean has experienced in recent years.

The change stems from two strong weather cycles over the Pacific Ocean — El Niño and La Niña — which shifted precipitation patterns, according to scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. The two cycles brought heavy rains to Brazil and Amazon, along with drought to the southern United States.

I wonder where all that meltwater went?

Does this mean that we should all move to lower ground?
