The APCC ENSO Alert suggests “El Niño”. In September 2023, above normal sea surface temperature anomalies spanned the equatorial Pacific. The Niño3.4 index is expected to be around 2℃ and then gradually decrease to 1℃ for November 2023 – April 2024. The probability for El Niño conditions is expected to be above 93% for the same period.
Temperature/Precipitation Forecast for November 2023 ~ April 2024
Strongly enhanced probability for above normal temperatures is predicted for most of the globe for November 2023 – April 2024. For the same period, above normal precipitation is predicted for the western equatorial Pacific and some region of Eurasia, whereas below normal precipitation is expected for the central off-equatorial North Pacific, tropical South Atlantic, eastern Indian Ocean, and Australia.
