Here's a graphic showing the ECMWF pressure forecasts for Darwin and Tahiti based on the 00z run. Although it looks like mostly positive SOI values are predicted, the 30-day average may only rise slowly due to positive values from July getting omitted from the average.

So in another words the SOI will end up in the neutral phase this month which is what ENSO is currently is and most likely stay through September.

I would say ENSO is warm neutral at the sub surface while the atmosphere is trending towards an El Nino.

I would say that that the atmosphere has been more warm neutral than dead on neutral, the fact that FL has had a very wet summer so far is a good proof of it which most times happens during El Ninos, the very high shear over the Caribbean during July is another testament which usually does not happen during cool neutral years. The current brief cool down or warming pause should make shear stay lower through September.
I have always believed that the atmosphere (weather patterns) controls the SSTs, not the other way around, IMO.

The buoys if they hold looks like a bump up come Monday. Kind of crazy the sloshing, wild swings from warm to cool and back to warm in some areas. Shows the variances involved with cold and warm eddies in different regions and how quickly it shifts. Not only with moving water, but also changing climo in a season of transition, in tenths of a degree..

Notable on that plot is the westerly winds anoms in the kelvin wave generation area.

And that WWB over the region about a week ago really helped to warm up the subsurface waters too. Some 4+C anomalies are now showing up about 100-200m below 160W.

The hovmollers forecasted trades have not been as strong in the closer range vs long range. What was decent EWB forecast turned out to be less. Another EWB is forecasted east of the dateline. We'll have to see if that comes to fruition.

Yep I've noticed that as well. The background state continues to slowly shift towards El Nino.

CPC Weekly update has Niño 3.4 up to +0.4C and has all the areas in positive.

That 0.8C is about as good as it gets for a modoki at 4. It is essentially a dateline Nino considering. One of the strongest "dateline" forcing ninos of recent was 2009 late in the fall and winter.

Posted this in the Lane thread but perhaps might be of value here also. North of the equator in the NHEM rising motion and convection in the Central and Eastern tropical Pacific is putting on a show. Considering discussions of the walker circulation of where convection this time of year in a non +ENSO is usually devoid of due to SSTs below 28C to sustain.

@MJVentrice
Another strong downwelling oceanic Kelvin wave has developed in the central Pacific. This downwelling phase is of higher amplitude of its predecessor back in Feb-Mar, which transitioned the Pacific out of La Nina.

@MJVentrice
The Pacific Ocean is in a loading state... The thermocline is deepening in the central Pacific via the development of a downwelling oceanic Kelvin wave. SSTAs +4C are seen just east of the Date Line, sub-surface. This warmth will push eastward with time (Kelvin wave dynamics).

South Texas Storms called it. Lane has stunted the easterlies over the dateline and the CPAC.
