1982, 1983, 1994, and 1997 all featured El Niños. The MEI for those years (May-June through September-October) was as follows:
1982 +1.632
1983 +1.171
1994 +0.808
1997 +2.573
2004 has no El Niño. It is a neutral year. So far, the MEI is averaging 0.286.
That's a world of difference. So odds are strongly against a 1982, 1983, 1994, or 1997-type season.
my 12/8/4 seems way too high. conditions are unfavorable everywhere
maybe downgrade to 7/4/1
i think everyone will downgrade. maybe a 94 or 97 type season? or 82 or 83
another thing is the west pac has heated back up, which will limit the africa waves
with both the east and west pac getting active, its going to be awhile for anything in the atlantic
if an el nino hits at the peak of the season, with all the other negative factors, i think we will see 7/4/1. there will be nothing for awhile
