During August-October 2024, the observed SST anomalies in global oceans, in general, were above average. The Pacific Niño sea-surface temperature (SST) index anomaly in the eastern Pacific (Niño 1+2) was negative. Of the other three Niño indices anomaly for the westernmost index (Niño 4) was above zero while other two indices in the equatorial central and eastern Pacific were near-zero. Overall, the SST state in the equatorial central and eastern Pacific was ENSO-neutral.. (Source: WMO)
