Monthly/ONI data should be out later this week or next week.

Worth noting, there is another big MJO wave now, will do the 7-8-1-2 dance.

^^ I think the positive values turning into La Ninas has to do with the PDO flip in the previous decade, by some measures (NOAA PDO) it has been negative for a while after the brief big spike with the 2014-15/2015-16 El Nino.

I'm actually more interested in what the PDO does for the time being, in the Summer that's the stronger precip signal v. ENSO here, and Summer is the wet season, with 50-70% of annual rain falling in Jun-Sep here most years. Ideal monsoon tends to occur with low-solar activity, high PDO values, and little precipitation in the Nov-Apr prior to Summer. Dry Summers get a little nuts, we had sub-0F dewpoints a few days last year with air temperatures during the day near 100, so some areas were falling into the 40s at night. Even here, that's crazy.

No more La Nina in 3.4 as of this week.

Well this was a successful thread until about half way through I think it got hacked or something. I've been following, and it's apparently received 4,500 views in the last few weeks but no one is posting in the weather section, There are like 3 posts. Thanks for the discussion though raindancewx.

SOI has been exceptionally volatile this month, readings from +31 to -17, recently consistently negative though. Suspect there will be some kind of US pattern flip in mid-May. Strongest correlations are in the SW, WA, and northern New England for May - will be regions to watch for a flip.
