There isn&#8217;t a strict rule defining the specific number of consecutive Oceanic Ni\u00f1o Index (ONI) values that must be 2.0\u00b0C or above to categorize an El Ni\u00f1o event as &#8220;Super Strong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In general, a strong El Ni\u00f1o event is often characterized by ONI values reaching or exceeding +2.0\u00b0C. A Super Strong El Ni\u00f1o would typically involve sustained ONI value of +2.0\u00b0C or more. Hence for ease of understanding and comparing the strength of various Strong El Nino events, I propose to define an El Nino as a Super Strong event if\u00a0 three consecutive ONI index is +2.0\u00b0C or more.<\/p>\n<p>A brief history of the past El Nino events with the number of consecutive ONI +2.0\u00b0C or above:<\/p>\n<p>In the year 1965 the highest ONI index during that El Nino were SON +2.0\u00b0C, OND +2.0\u00b0C<\/p>\n<p>In the year 1972-73 the highest ONI index during that El Nino were OND +2.1\u00b0C NDJ +2.1\u00b0C DJF<\/p>\n<p>In the year 1982-83 the highest ONI index during that El Nino were SON +2.0\u00b0C, OND +2.2\u00b0C NDJ +2.2\u00b0C DJF +2.2\u00b0C<\/p>\n<p>In the year 1997-98 the highest ONI index during that El Nino were ASO +2.1\u00b0C SON +2.3\u00b0C, OND +2.4\u00b0C NDJ +2.4\u00b0C DJF +2.2\u00b0C<\/p>\n<p>In the year 2015-16 the highest ONI index during that El Nino were ASO +2.2\u00b0C SON +2.4\u00b0C, OND +2.6\u00b0C NDJ +2.6\u00b0C DJF +2.5\u00b0C JFM +2.1\u00b0C<\/p>\n<p>ONI Data has been obtained from CPC &#8211; NWS &#8211; NOAA available <a href=\"https:\/\/origin.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov\/products\/analysis_monitoring\/ensostuff\/ONI_v5.php\">here<\/a><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>There have been three Super Strong El Nino events from 1950 onwards till date. The first such event was 1982-83 Super Strong El Nino with 4 consecutive ONI +2.0\u00b0C or above with highest ONI of +2.2\u00b0C twice. The second Super Strong El Nino event was 1997-98 with five consecutive ONI +2.0\u00b0C or above with highest ONI of +2.4\u00b0C twice. The third Super Strong El Nino event was 2015-16 with six consecutive ONI +2.0\u00b0C or above with highest ONI of +2.6\u00b0C twice. The current forecast and analysis does not support the 2023-24 El Nino to become a Super Strong El Nino.<\/p>\n<h4>Indian Monsoon &amp; Enso relationship for India:<\/h4>\n<p>Based on earlier more than 100 years weather Data for Indian Summer Monsoon, The Average Rainfall in an El Nino years is 94% of LPA while in La Nina Years it has been 106 % of LPA for the whole country. Monsoon Rainfall over India had been +94.4% of LPA at the end of 30th September 2023. El Nino or La Nina may affect the Monsoon differently for different Regions of India and warrants research for concrete co-relations for each region of India if any. Performance of Southwest Monsoon 2023 over the entire Country was much better than expected.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How ONI is determined:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The ONI is based on SST departures from average in the Ni\u00f1o 3.4 region, and is a principal measure for monitoring, assessing, and predicting ENSO. Defined as the three-month running-mean SST departures in the Ni\u00f1o 3.4 region. Departures are based on a set of further improved homogeneous historical SST analyses (Extended Reconstructed SST \u2013 ERSST.v5).<\/p>\n<p>NOAA Operational Definitions for El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a, El Ni\u00f1o: characterized by a positive ONI greater than or equal to +0.5\u00baC. La Ni\u00f1a: characterized by a negative ONI less than or equal to -0.5\u00baC. By historical standards, to be classified as a full-fledged El Ni\u00f1o or La Ni\u00f1a episode, these thresholds must be exceeded for a period of at least 5 consecutive overlapping 3-month seasons.<\/p>\n<p>CPC considers El Ni\u00f1o or La Ni\u00f1a conditions to occur when the monthly Ni\u00f1o3.4 OISST departures meet or exceed +\/- 0.5\u00baC along with consistent atmospheric features. These anomalies must also be forecast to persist for 3 consecutive months.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<b>Climate Prediction Center<\/b>\u00a0(<b>CPC<\/b>) is a United States Federal Agency that is one of the NECP, which are a part of the NOAA<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Latest Oceanic Nino Index Graph Shows<br \/>\nEl Nino Conditions Are Prevailing At The End Of January 2024<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vmi2318806.contaboserver.net\/?attachment_id=30628#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30628\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-30628\" src=\"https:\/\/vmi2318806.contaboserver.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ONI_NDJ_2024-1024x772.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gujaratweather.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ONI_NDJ_2024-1024x772.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gujaratweather.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ONI_NDJ_2024-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gujaratweather.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ONI_NDJ_2024-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gujaratweather.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ONI_NDJ_2024-1536x1158.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gujaratweather.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ONI_NDJ_2024.jpg 1965w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Table below shows the monthly SST of Nino3.4 Region and the Climate adjusted normal SST and SST anomaly from July 2021.
