If the atmosphere were to flip to El Nino, we should see the SOI beginning to drop in negative territory by late September and October. To kickstart El Nino, we need to see westerly anomalies over the MC by November/December. That'll help open the door for a dateline WWB in January/February. The ocean has been reacting very well to any periods with relaxed trades, almost immediately building and sending warm subsurface to the east.
