I've noticed for a few weeks now how the global SST anomalies are
generally +ve in the north and -ve in the south. I was wondering whether
this has any significance to global patterns to come?

As global warming causes the amount of arctic sea ice to decrease,
models show the heat equator being displaced northwards. Eventually we
are likely to end up with one pole ice free. (This has happened in the
past.)

Perhaps these SST maps are showing signs of this occuring.
