Will be interesting to see if this El Nino event will bring things back to normal especially if the PDO continues to warm and the SOI cooperates. Do we see a below 10 NS Atlantic hurricane season and hyperactive WPAC and EPAC seasons? Will the CPAC behave like 2014-2018?

JMA had the PDO warming up to -0.26 the warmest in nearly 6 years by their measures.

Do keep in mind the Euro has a known warm bias when it comes to ENSO. Not saying a Super Niño isn't in the cards but it would not surprise me if it's being too bullish on that front

No way this event couldn't top 2023. I remember talks about that year lacking significant WWB events to drive El Niño to strong threshold, yet it happened.

2023 El Nino event was pretty odd tbh. Still dont know what to make of it till this day.

This year's event is behaving much more traditionally so far.
