Summary Recent Evolution and Current Conditions Oceanic Ni?o Index (ONI) Pacific SST Outlook U.S. Seasonal Precipitation and Temperature Outlooks Summary
Starting on Oct. 11, 2021, the weekly sea surface temperature data is based on OISSTv2.1 (Huang et al., 2021). This impacts slides #4-9. The source data is available at this link.
Summary
ENSO Alert System Status: La Ni?a Advisory La Ni?a conditions have developed.* Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are below average across the central and east-central Pacific Ocean. The tropical Pacific atmosphere is consistent with La Ni?a conditions. La Ni?a is expected to continue with an 87% chance in December 2021February 2022.*

Recent Evolution of Equatorial Pacific SST Departures (oC)
During September 2020 to March 2021, the core of the strongest negative SST anomalies shifted from the eastern to the central Pacific Ocean.
From March to July 2021, equatorial SSTs gradually returned to average over most of the Pacific Ocean.
In the last week, below-average SSTs continued in the central and eastcentral Pacific Ocean.
