El Niño/La Niña Update (June 2008)

La Niña conditions prevailed through May 2008, but the event gradually 

weakened from its peak strength in February. The recent weeks have seen a 

more rapid decay, indicating a possible conclusion to the event. Even if some 

aspects of La Niña continue over the next few weeks, near neutral conditions 

are considered the most likely outcome for the middle part of the year and 

shortly thereafter.
