"climate anomalies" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used to refer to uncommon weather events or climate patterns. For example, "Recent climate anomalies have led to a decrease in local crop production."
This study is innovative in the development of complex climate indices to reflect climate anomalies at different scales and to explain the mechanisms and relationships between climatic conditions and diseases.
ENSO impacts are one of the few climate anomalies forecasters today have a better handle of.
large-scale climate anomalies [7].
Figure S2 Monthly climate anomalies in 1992 for site Gollin.
The effects of large-scale climate anomalies on trends were significant for winter SMPs.
To study the potential hydrologic effect of climate anomalies on the UBNB, rainfall and temperature data observed when climate anomalies were active, were resampled and used to drive MISBA and SAC-SMA.
You might check out my article from Science from a couple years ago, "Global Signatures and Dynamical Origins of the Little Ice Age and Medieval Climate Anomaly" available here.
These conclusions from our own recent work are accurately represented by the associated discussion in the "summary for policy-makers" of the new IPCC report (emphasis mine): Continental-scale surface-temperature reconstructions show, with high confidence, multidecadal periods during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (year 950-1250) that were, in some regions, as warm as in the late 20th century.
Scientists prefer the term "Medieval Climate Anomaly" because the globe wasn't uniformly warm, some regions (like a large part of the tropical Pacific) appear to have been cold, and the largest signal appears to be in rainfall and drought patterns, not temperature itself.

Water shortages blamed on climate anomaly, tardy response.
