El Nino....Likely This Year ? El Niño forecast indicates brightening chances of El Niño forming after June 2015.
The central to western regions of the tropical Pacific Ocean have warmed by 0.2 °C to 0.3 °C over the past fortnight, while monthly sub-surface temperatures were more than 2 °C above average over a large area for February. This is largely the result of weakened trade winds and tropical surface currents in recent weeks.
Warmer-than-average temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean and models indicate that further warming is likely in coming months.
Weakened trade winds are forecast to continue, and this may induce further warming.
All international models indicate that central tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are likely to remain warmer than average, but within the neutral range, until at least May.
The most recent Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) value is −0.5 to 8 March 2015, and the latest sea surface temperature anomaly in the central Pacific (NINO3.4 region) is +0.5 °C.
Sustained positive values of the SOI above +8 may indicate La Niña, while sustained negative values below −8 may indicate El Niño. Values of between about +8 and −8 generally indicate neutral conditions.
There is evidence that the MJO influences the ENSO cycle. It does not cause El Niño or La Niña, but can contribute to the speed of development and intensity of El Niño and La Niña episodes.
Overall, the MJO tends to be most active during ENSO neutral years, and is often absent during moderate-to-strong El Niño and La Niña events. The MJO activity during late 2007 and early 2008, which occurred during La Niña conditions, is unusual but not
unprecedented.
No strong MJO seen till mid April in our seas ( North Indian Ocean).
