All regions cooled.

We also have the closest thing to a negative (–) PDO we have seen since 2013. It may be short-lived, but it's still significant, given how the PDO has been strongly positive for four years. You can see the trend on the latest NESDIS SST anomaly data. Note the ring of cold anomalies near western North America and Baja California, coupled with the warm pool south of the Aleutian Islands. Notably, the Pacific Meridional Mode (PMM) looks more negative than it has been in some time, with below-average anomalies supplanting previously above-average ones to the south of the Hawaiian Islands. If sustained, this pattern makes for big differences in the upcoming winter and spring seasons, both in terms of winter and severe weather. Overall, we definitely have the most "classic" La Niña configuration in some time.

Not necessarily on this board, but on other big boards there was nothing but El Niño wishcasting through about March 2017. Even by June we had big names holding on to their Nino predictions. I suppose El Niño brings bigger snow totals for the cold weather climate folks.


Its not easy predicting something months away. When we look at stronger events (mod or strong) it's easier. The busts are really associated with weak and neutral events. They are not so easy when you are thinking in tenths of a degree anomaly

Just by eyeballing the anomalies on NESDIS, it looks like the PDO signature for October will be less positive.

Per NCDC, the PDO value has cooled once again in October, dropping to -0.60 from -0.26. It's going to be a close call from JISAO and JMA again if the positive streak is broken or not.

Latest update from the CPC that is officially -0.4C. You can read below.

http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/lanina/enso_evolution-status-fcsts-web.pdf

The most significant information to date is ONI updated for ASO which now reads -0.4C also. With the late Nina start on ONi (assuming it achieves 5 consecutive trimonthlies) is closest to 1974-1975, 1984-1985, 2005-2006, and 2008-2009.

That's using the new ERSSTv5. The prior version ERSSTv4 for ASO reads -0.5C

WAY too early to say with any certainty. We cannot accurately predict ENSO until about May

The next couple of weeks into early Nov is likely the peak of this event right now. Most guidance agree on November is the bottoming out of -SSTA

I am still hoping (Luis) cycloneye will return soon with the weekly ENSO updates but he has not been around since Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico.


You think the CPC will declare a La Nina regardless of the tri-monthlies?


They will only declare if the trimonthlies qualify. 2014 is a prime example of so close (at the time)


Looks like they declared it. But aren't the trimonthlies still not sufficient?

It's all up in the air at the moment, but historically speaking, it's certainly easier to get a La Nina event vs. an El Nino.

It's not easy getting a third Nina in a row. I believe it's happened twice since 1950. The other two times had very strong Ninas involved being 1973-1975 and 1998-2000

Hi,so by third Nina in a row you mean another one for the middle of 2018? Because isn't this one the second in a row?
How long is this one expected to last?

I don't think we'll see three La Nina years in a row. Based on climatology I'd say that ENSO-neutral is the most likely scenario for 2018-19. I don't see El Nino returning just yet because it isn't very common to directly go from Nina to Nino without a neutral year or two in between.

Yeah. This one should fade by Spring as most ENSO events do that are not strong or Super. CyclonicFury said it best above. Neutral is the most likely outcome next year when looking at history. This one is second dip Nina (should it officially be given and appears it may). Historic probability went against a Nino this year in light of what happened earlier in the year and it turned out right.

In one of the biggest jumps you will ever see, this week's reading will drop all the way to -1.1C
