Index history
Niño regions — weekly SST anomaly
Published records from NOAA CPC — the same figures quoted elsewhere, rather than our own computation, which would drift from them by whatever the method and baseline differ by.
Shaded above +0.8 and below -0.8, the conventional El Niño and La Niña thresholds.

Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies

SST ANOMALY (°C)
Below-average SSTs suppress tropical convection and reduce cyclone potential. Cool anomalies in the Indian Ocean may indicate a developing positive IOD.
Sea surface temperatures close to the long-term average. Tropical weather activity is driven primarily by atmospheric patterns rather than oceanic forcing.
Elevated SSTs increase atmospheric instability and fuel tropical cyclone development. Areas of warm anomaly in the Coral Sea and Arafura Sea are high-risk zones during cyclone season.
