The atmospheric circulation anomalies over the equatorial Pacific Ocean are consistent with El Niño. 

El Niño will strengthen through the end of the year, with a 97% chance it will persist through early spring 2027.

El Niño: characterized by a positive RONI greater than or equal to +0.5ºC. La Niña: characterized by a negative RONI less than or equal to -0.5ºC. 

By historical standards, to be classified as a full-fledged El Niño or La Niña episode, these thresholds must be exceeded for a period of at least 5 consecutive overlapping 3-month seasons.

 CPC considers El Niño or La Niña conditions to occur when the monthly relative Niño3.4 departures meet or exceed +/- 0.5ºC along with consistent atmospheric features. 

These anomalies must also be forecasted to persist for 3 consecutive months.
