Research notes and updates from the team.
In August 2022, the equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the central-eastern tropical Pacific Ocean remained cooler than normal, and were consistent with weak La Niña conditions (NINO3.4 index value in August 2022 was -0.96).

According to the early-August CPC ENSO forecast, La Niña is likely to persist until boreal winter 2022-23 with 60% probabilities, which would be the first triple-dip event of the 21st century.

In the early-July CPC/IRI ENSO forecast, La Niña is likely to persist during the rest of the boreal summer, fall and early winter with probabilities ranging from 60 to 66%.
Read more →In May 2022, the equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the central-eastern tropical Pacific Ocean were below average, and tropical Pacific atmosphere remained consistent with La Niña conditions. The recent observed oceanic and atmospheric anomalies across the tropical Pacific have, however, shown some weakness.
