The recent July 2024 ENSO update from NOAA's ENSO Blog confirms the conclusion of El Niño. Currently, the tropical Pacific is in an ENSO-neutral phase, with sea surface temperatures in the Niño-3.4 region slightly above average, suggesting stable conditions. Forecasts indicate a probable transition to La Niña between August and October, which could influence global weather patterns, including heightened hurricane activity in the Atlantic. While models suggest a moderate likelihood of La Niña, ongoing variability underscores the unpredictable nature of ENSO forecasts.
