1. ENSO - Expert Analysis and Discussion: Updated 02 December 2024
GWO Predicted 10-Months in Advance - El Niño would form by July 2024

ENSO Neutral Conditions - into January
The Tropical South Pacific surface water temperature anomalies during the past 4 weeks from 06 November 2024 to 27 November 2024 (from to bottom in the graphic below).
The yellow to red colors denote above normal warm water temperatures, the blue colors are the colder than normal surface water - dark blue shows areas of much below normal.
As noted in the time series below (from top to bottom), during the past 4-weeks from 06 November to 27 November 2024 - the area of cooler than normal surface water (blue colors in top panel) has not enlarged or strengthened due to the lack of upwelling of the colder than normal subsurface water below.
The Subsurface Water (left graphic) has not strengthened or enlarged in area during the past 6 weeks, and this is delaying upwelling of cooler water to the surface - and delaying the formation of a La Nina event.
Neutral ENSO conditions will continue into January 2025.

b. NOAA - ENSO Neutral - La Niña) Watch - updated 01 December 2024
ENSO Alert System Status: La Niña Watch
ENSO-neutral conditions are present.*
Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are mostly near average in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
La Niña is most likely to emerge in October-December 2024 (57% chance) and is expected to persist through January-March 2025.*
2. Current Conditions - Expert Analysis by GWO - Updated 01 November 2024
a. Tropical Pacific Ocean Subsurface Temperatures
(down to 250 meters) - see figure 1 below
For an El Niño or La Niña to Form - the subsurface water must warm or cool dramatically across the Central and Eastern Tropical Pacific - and then have the warmer or cooler than normal water upwell to the surface.
El Niño events are associated with much warmer than normal surface and subsurface temperatures.
La Niña events are the opposite and are associated with much cooler than normal surface and subsurface temperatures.
During the period from 05 October to 24 November 2024 (top to bottom panels) -
the area of colder than normal subsurface water remained about the same during the past 6 weeks - and is not upwelling to the surface in much of the Central and Eastern area of the Equatorial Pacific to the west of South American.
The lack of intensification and arial coverage has delayed upwelling of colder water to the surface - and thus has delayed the formation of a La Nina event - or near La Nina event.

b. Surface Water Temperatures: Niño 3.4 Region
(where El Nino events typically form)
The graphic panels (below left) show much warmer than normal subsurface temperatures in (red) - warmer than normal (yellow and orange) and colder than normal (light blue to dark blue).
El Niño events develop in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific between the South American Coast and the Central South Pacific. This is called the Niño 3.4 Region.
The Tropical South Pacific surface water temperatures have not cooled further during the past 2 months - but as of 24 November the cooling has stopped due to a stopped and there was an actual rise in temperatures due to the lack of upwelling of colder subsurface water to the surface (see graphic on far left)
ENSO Neutral Conditions - neither El Niño nor La Niña Ocean temperature anomalies will continue into January 2025

As noted in the time series below (from top to bottom), during the past 4-week from 21 August 2024 to 11 September 2024 - the area of cooler than normal surface water (blue colors in top panel) has not enlarged or strengthened due to the lack of upwelling of the colder than normal subsurface water below.
The Subsurface Water (left graphic) has strengthened and enlarged in area - but is not upwelling to the surface across much of the region. It is beginning to upwell to the surface in the east-central portion of the tropical equatorial area and upwelling will strengthen and enlarge in area during the period from late September into November.
Neutral ENSO conditions will continue late September into October with a transition to La Nina conditions around late October or November.
An ocean temperature cycle typically persists for 2 or 3 months and then transitions to another cycle - such as transitioning from warming to cooling and then back to warming.

Nino Region 3.4
East Central Tropical Pacific
Surface" Ocean Temperatures
El Niño events develop in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific between the South American Coast and the Central South Pacific. This is called the Niño 3.4 Region.
The Tropical South Pacific surface water temperatures have cooled only slowly during the past 2 months and are now firmly in ENSO Neutral Conditions - neither El Niño nor La Niña ocean temperature anomalies.
The ocean water temperatures in this region (Nino 3.4) will begin cooling with more intensity during the period from late September into November with the Neutral Conditions gradually transitioning to cold La Nina Conditions as upwelling of colder subsurface water intensifies (See graphic on far left).
Expect strengthening of the upwelling of cooler than normal water to intensify during late September into November with a transition to a La Nina around Late October or November.

Overview: ENSO - El Niño Southern Oscillation
The three phases of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) typically cause changes in regional
weather patterns around the world - click here for more specific information.
El Niño phase (warm phase) occurs when the Tropical South Pacific Ocean surface and subsurface
water warm significantly above normal in the Eastern Pacific and along the South American Coast.
This phase typically causes increased precipitation in specific regions of the world, and in turn - drier
conditions in other regions.
La Niña phase (cold ocean water phase) is the complete opposite of the El Niño phase. The
typical conditions during an El Niño often flip-flop during the opposite phase of the El Niño - called the
Cold La Niña phase. During this phase the Tropical Pacific surface and subsurface water ocean water
is much colder than normal. This influences typical weather conditions around the world - opposite
of those conditions seen with an El Nino.
The third phase is called the Neutral phase and typically provides weather conditions that are
neither associated with the El Niño phase nor the La Niña Phase. Some regions of the world
also experience typical weather patterns for this phase of the ENSO.
