Since July 2019 sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific have been neutral with respect to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (signifying that neither El Niño nor La Niña have prevailed). Since October, sea surface temperatures intermittently warmed towards the threshold of El Niño levels, but at least half of the key tropical Pacific atmospheric indicators have remained neutral during these recent months.
