Clock is ticking for El Nino

Look whats building under the surface of the equatorial Pacific...

The right tip of this cold tongue is already appearing on surface SSTA maps off Peru. The area of warm anomalies (El Nino-driven) is gradually fading. This is just more evidence that EL Nino is nearly gone, and a La Nina may be slowly taking its place.

More strong evidence that el nino wont be present during the hurricane season but instead la nina will be there and that alone will be favorable for an active and dangerous season.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the CPC/NOAA declares El Nino history in their next update, which will be released this upcoming week. Almost all known indicators of El Nino conditions have reverted to near-neutral values.
