The following and attached NOAA (the first two images of the upper ocean heat anom & the SSTA Evolution, respectively) & BoM (the last two images of the Nino 3.4 & the IOD indices, respectively thru the week ending June 18 2017) information indicates that if a weak El Nino is going to occur this year then it needs to start some feedback loops in the coming weeks; otherwise, we are going to lock into an ENSO neutral pattern through the rest of the year:

The four attached plots were issued today by the BoM of the weekly Nino indices thru the week ending June 18 2017, & show the Nino 1, 2, 3 & 4 indices, respectively.  This data hints at a limited probability of a weak El Nino developing later this year; and a better chance of ENSO neutral conditions locking in with a month or so.

Just for the record, neither the BoM, nor Long Paddock, current SOI values are available at the moment.

Per the linked website the PDO for May 2017 was +0.88:

Edit: However, I suspect that ENSO conditions will roughly plateau for some time to come as hinted at by the attached ECMM MJO forecast

The four attached weekly Nino plots were all issued yesterday by the BoM for the week ending June 25 2017, show the Nino 1, 2, 3 & 4 indices, respectively.  The indicate that there is still a possibly that a weak El Nino might occur by the end of this year:

"The possibility of a weak El Nino" may have to be changed to stronger language with this rate of descent in the SOI. Or is it just noisier than usual?

It seems to me that the SOI is always this noisy.

Also, per the attached plot issued today by the BoM, the 30-day moving average SOI moved down to -11.2:


Edit: The link leads to the Long Paddock daily SOI values, which hints that the 30-day moving averages SOI may soon start increasing a old more negative daily values are replaced by more positive daily values:

Per the following NOAA weekly Nino data through the week centered on June 28 2017, the first two images issued today by NOAA for the Eq Pac Upper Ocean Heat Anom & the SSTA, respectively, and the last two images issued today by the BoM thru the week ending July 2 2017 showing the weekly Nino 3.4 & the IOD, respectively: The ENSO conditions have essentially plateaued and unless the atmospheric conditions become more bullish (for El Nino conditions) then we may well slowly degrade back to ENSO neutral conditions:

The attached POAMA forecast for the Nino 3.4 index was issued by the BoM, with the forecast starting on July 2 2017.  This forecast estimates the ENSO will remain neutral through the rest of 2017.

Per the following NOAA data and first two NOAA Eq Pac plots (of the Upper Ocean Heat Anom & the SSTA, respectively) and the last two weekly indices plots (of the Nino 3.4 & IOD, respectively) issued by the BoM thru the week ending July 9 2017, it appears that ENSO conditions have plateaued on the low side of transient El Nino like conditions.  Conventional wisdom projects these transient El Nino conditions will degrade into ENSO neutral conditions within the next month or so; however, there is a small chance that weak El Nino conditions could persists for some months to come.

Per the attached plot issued today by the BoM, the 30-day moving average SOI remained constant at -4.5:

Based on the following weekly Nino data issued by NOAA thru the week centered on July 12 2017, the first two images issued today by NOAA for the Eq Pac showing the Upper Ocean Heat Anom and the SSTA Evolution, respectively; and the last two images issued today by the BoM thru the week ending July 16 2017 showing the Nino 3.4 and IOD indices, respectively; all indicate that we are likely over the recent ENCO plateau and are likely beginning a slow shift towards more ENSO neutral conditions:

The four images were all issued today by the BoM showing weekly Nino data thru the week ending July 16 2017, & showing the Nino 1, 2, 3 & 4 indices, respectively.  Jointly, these indicate that we are still near the recent ENSO plateau but are likely slowly shifting towards more ENSO neutral conditions:

Looks like we are "working on a base" in ENSO.  This is a "higher base" than the lower base that was established in 2015/2016.

Of course we don't know how long this base will last...another 4 months, another 7 months?.....but looking at the chart AND looking at the underlying fundamental science, tells me we are LIKELY heading for higher ENSO readings by early spring at the latest.
