It appears that a weak El Nino is beginning. It could, as the season progresses, inhibit TC formation some. It isn't really strong enough to do much yet, but if you look at the SST's in the PAcific now vs. at the begiining of the season there is a definite difference and that difference points to an El Nino beginning to happen.

now finally I could send messages across to people but any way is a very weak el nino really going to cut this 2006 hurricane season short??? I thought that this 2006 hurricane season is going to be a active one and by the way I HATE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION I just love storms or hurricanes just for the fun of the excitement

Will,next week NOAA will make a new forecast for el nino/la nina and Neutral conditions in the Pacific.On thursday,they will release the latest and you will know more about if el nino will come during the ladder part of the season.

I think that they will say,neutral ENSO will prevail for the next 1-2 months.But the official word will come next thursday.

Will,If you see the graphic,you will see that the temps ae somewhat warm but not in the order of el nino criteria right now.Average anomalys are around +0.5C to +1.0 in spots along the el nino 3-4 area.

They are neutral conditions at the moment. Have a read of the latest BoM discussion on this which will be updated on Wednesday. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/
Here is the subsurface map to add to the one above. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/sub_surf_jun.gif
Edit - Sorry the chart hasn't updated as they said it had so I've changed it to the June one.

A normal/neutral conditions happen when the trade winds blowing normally across the pacific. Which moves the warm water into the western Pacific....But a El nino develops when the trade winds weaken which then the water slides eastward. This change causes the lower pressures that normally are over the western Pacific to slide over the central to eastern Pacific. While a La nina is the opposite of a El nino cold waters forms over the eastern pacific.
Warm water=lower pressures which means rising...While cold water=higher pressure which is sinking. That is why when a El nino forms it strengthens the southern/subtropical jet into California...Also more convection forms over central America/central Pacific.

While I'm not going to claim to know much about these models I will say that the majority of them are forecasting neutral conditions for the next nine months so I'm not sure where this lack of data from the BoM is coming from. If you click on the links to the different models you can view the plumes for that model.
