NOAA Criteria Suggest Full-Fledged La Ni\u00f1a Unlikely in 2024 – Even A Single La Ni\u00f1a Threshold Unlikely During the Indian Southwest Monsoon<\/h4>\n

Enso Status on 8th August 2024<\/h4>\n

Ashok Patel’s Analysis & Commentary :<\/strong><\/h4>\n

ONI Data has been obtained from CPC – NWS – NOAA available here<\/a>
\n
\n<\/strong>The current data indicates that the Second ENSO Neutral thresh hold has been established at the end of July 2024, thereby Enso Neutral conditions continues. The ONI has dropped to +0.2\u00b0C for MJJ2024 season. Nino3.4 SST for June 2024 is 0.18\u00b0C and for July 2024 is 0.10\u00b0C and so for ONI of JJA2024, the combined total of three months Nino3.4 SST for June, July & August 2024 should at least go down to -1.36\u00b0C, so as to get ONI for JJA2024 as -0.5\u00b0C by rounding to one decimal. Since Nino3.4 SST for June is 0.18\u00b0C and July is 0.10\u00b0C, it would mean that the Nino3.4 SST for August should theoretically go down to -1.64\u00b0C, so that the three months total reaches -1.36\u00b0C to make JJA2024 ONI -0.5\u00b0C to achieve La Nina thresh hold. Observing the Weekly Nino3.4 data, it is highly unlikely that Nino3.4 SST for August 2024 can go down to -1.64\u00b0C. Hence, ENSO Neutral condition is expected to continue for JJA2024 season.<\/p>\n

Concluding from the above analysis, Enso Neutral conditions will prevail for JJA2024 and at the end of August, since only four months will be left in the current year 2024 full-fledged La Nina cannot be established, even if La Nina thresh hold is achieved in any of the four months remaining.<\/p>\n

First conclusion is that La Nina thresh hold will not be achieved during the Indian Southwest Monsoon and Second conclusion is that a Full Fledged La Nina will not materialize during 2024, using the NOAA criteria.<\/p>\n

The second conclusion as discussed is that since a La Nina thresh hold for JJA 2024 is not going to be achieved, the earliest La Nina thresh hold if at all it can be achieved is JAS2024, which is when the Indian Summer Monsoon ends.<\/p>\n

How ONI is determined:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

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

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

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

\nSynopsis: ENSO-neutral is expected to continue for the next several months, with La Ni\u00f1a
\nfavored to emerge during September-November (66% chance) and persist through the
\nNorthern Hemisphere winter 2024-25 (74% chance during November-January).<\/p>\n

<\/div>
The ENSO Outlook is currently at La Ni\u00f1a Watch, meaning there are some signs that a La Ni\u00f1a may form in the Pacific Ocean later in 2024. A La Ni\u00f1a Watch does not guarantee that a La Ni\u00f1a will develop. The La Ni\u00f1a Watch is based on climate model forecasts and current atmospheric and oceanic conditions in the Pacific. Atmospheric and oceanic indicators are currently within ENSO-neutral thresh holds. While ENSO is likely to remain neutral until at least early spring. From October, 3 of 7 climate models suggest the possibility of SSTs cooling to the La Ni\u00f1a threshold (below \u22120.8 \u00b0C). The remaining models suggest a continuation of ENSO-neutral conditions throughout the forecast period.<\/p>\n
