The APCC ENSO Alert suggests “El Niño”. In August 2023, above normal sea surface temperature anomalies spanned the equatorial Pacific. The Niño3.4 index is expected to be above 1.4℃ for October 2023 – March 2024. The probability for El Niño conditions is expected to be above 98% for the same period.
Temperature/Precipitation Forecast for October 2023 ~ March 2024
Strongly enhanced probability for above normal temperatures is predicted for most of the globe for October 2023 – March 2024. For the same period, above normal precipitation is predicted for the western equatorial Pacific and Eurasia, whereas below normal precipitation is expected for the central off-equatorial North Pacific and northern and western Australia.
