Today the main newspaper in Puerto Rico has a extensive report about the incomming El Niño. The main enfasis is the less storms on hurricane season, the dry periods in Caribbean and the warm sst's in MDR or not too warm. Ernesto Morales from the NWS San Juan said that we have to watch those temperatures in the MDR for any possible formation east of the islands.

I believe SOI is more of "indicative" than "predictive." But if we are really going to have a basin-wide strong El Niño by JJA, we should at least start seeing very negative daily SOI values around April or May.

Interesting that both the GEFS and EPS extended stall the MJO out in Phase 8 long term.
