The tropical Pacific is currently experiencing El Niño conditions due to rapid changes in ocean temperatures observed in recent months. Models predict a very high probability (90%) of El Niño conditions continuing between July and September and likely through December 2023, with a 10% chance of returning to neutral conditions and almost no chance of La Niña developing.

ESTIMATED ENSO PROBABILITIES Tropical Pacific is currently experiencing
FOR JULY - SEPTEMBER 2023 El Niño conditions as a result of rapid and substantial changes in oceanic conditions observed in recent months. Model predictions and expert assessment indicate very high probability (90%) of El Niño from July to ~ 90% El Niño September that will likely prevail until at least December 2023. ~ 10% ENSO-Neutral Probability of return to ENSO-neutral conditions is 10%. ~ 0% La Niña The chance of La Niña re-development is near zero.
Information on ENSO should be combined with other
regionally and locally relevant factors in order to anticipate its effects on regional climates.
