First look at the equatorial pacific and you will see that blue area west of southamerica.Those blue colors haved persisted for more than 2 weeks and that is a colaboration that no el nino is in sight for at least the next 3-6 months but fluctuations happen and that may change however as it looks now neutral conditions will prevail during the months atlantic hurricane season is going on.

On the other hand look at the atlantic side and you will see more green and yellows and even spotty reds and that indicates a warming atlantic ocean for the most part with the exception of the east coast where anomalys are cool.

About the coastal anomolies... is this a continuation of the upwelling feature we saw last summer, or the result of a colder than average winter?

The cool east coast anomalys are a continuation of the upwelling from last year.

The Atlantic is pretty cool. There will be no El Nino this year, for certain.

Yep. The eastern Pacific remains very cool (La Nina-like). There are no signs of warming east of the date line that I can see. And if there is no warming now, then there probably won't be any significant warming over the next 6 months or so.
