Well done and semantically you are right of course. I'm pretty sure though
that you understood my point from the outset but just maybe baiting a
stranger to the news group is too much fun.

The cold anomalies to the south and the warm ones to the north on the quoted
chart
https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/products/...sstanomaly.gif
are stated with no time reference points marked. If the chart told me that
this was an anomaly in comparison to say 30th July 2006 or 30th August 2005
or the last 10 or 20 x 30th Augusts, I wouldn't need to ask the question.
Supposing though that this is a typical 21st century NH summer SST anomaly
chart, do the roles reverse come winter ? Assuming that they haven't in
recent years, what factors might be creating the positive temperature
anomalies in SST's in the northern versus southern hemispheres ?

Don't be so silly.

It is quite typical to have anaomalies.

Certainly

My question is as to whether those
anomolies are in their typical seasonal locations or not.

If the SST was typical for that location at that season it would not be
anamolous
