El Ni?o Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Current Status and Forecast

The July Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) was -0.7, which reflected the recent transition to ENSO-neutral conditions.

The May ? July Oceanic Ni?o Index (ONI) fell to +0.2?C, which reflects cooling of central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures "SSTs"...into the ENSO-neutral range.

NOAA's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) predicts continued cooling of central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean SSTs with a transition from ENSO-neutral to La Ni?a during the September ? November period.

Note: This "analog" forecast does not consider NOAA's ENSO forecast. It uses only historical and current ENSO conditions to find "analog years" that most-closely match the recent evolution of the ENSO state.
