Looking to my amateur eyes like La Nada for the second half of this year, with a flat-to-rising NINO 3.4 SST index for the next month before dropping back down for the rest of the year, but in both cases staying within 0.5C of the norm. The next couple of weeks will confirm the trend one way or another, it would seem.
Much happening in the Antarctic stratosphere of late?
And coincidentally, Solar Maximum is building too. correlation to ENSO with SSNs?
