Latest ENSO Wrap-Up issued 27 October 2015

The latest ENSO Wrap-Up and Climate Model Summary are now available on the Bureau's website.

Strong El Niño and positive Indian Ocean Dipole persist
A strong El Niño in the Pacific and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole are dominating the climate of countries that border the Pacific and Indian oceans.

In the central tropical Pacific Ocean, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) continue to warm, but at a markedly slower pace than earlier this year. All NINO indices have now been above +1 °C for 11 consecutive weeks, equalling the previous record. Recent bursts of westerly winds in the tropics means some further warming remains possible. All models indicate that the strong El Niño is likely to persist until the end of the year, before a marked decline during the first quarter of 2016.

International climate models also suggest the positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) will persist into November, but then decline rapidly once the monsoon trough shifts south, changing wind patterns over the IOD region. So far in October the IOD index has averaged over +1 °C—the last month that this occurred was in 2006.

El Niño is usually associated with below-average spring rainfall over eastern Australia, and increased spring daytime temperatures south of the tropics. A positive IOD typically reinforces the drying pattern, particularly in the southeast. During summer, El Niño's influence on rainfall decreases, while warmer daytime and night-time temperatures tend to be more likely across the south and east.

No great heavy falls over SE India. AS cyclone has taken away what was meant for SE India, WD disorganized all cloud formation. Same is happening every year. 2012 as last time any depression hit TN (even though NEM rain quantity was less). After that all were duds. Ironically places like "Oman"/persian gulf are regularly getting cyclones / same goes with RAJ/GUJ every year we see extreme rains 500-700mm in 24hrs. What is in store for NEM? Only 1 month left - now or never.

Forecasted East rough  Let's look into the 3rd week of March ( 17th - 21st). Mumbai : Hot weather likely for Mumbai region this week, ty...
