    Also, there's been that recent press release of the deeper layers of the ocean temporarily storing heat, and they will eventually reintroduce it into the atmosphere (as the ocean and atmosphere are thermally coupled systems).

It's not just deeper levels. You start to see lasting high pressure systems and suddenly you have surface level blobs pop up that have a ton of stored heat because they hadn't been losing it to the colder atmosphere over however long a time span. This example alone has been partially responsible for unheard of weather patterns in the northwest.
