The GOOS El Niño Watch

GOOS temperature data is the basis of this graph of the El Niño3.4 index which is an indicator of central tropical Pacific El Niño conditions and can indicate the onset of the El Niño. The recent upturn into the red indicates anomalously warm conditions often associated with El Niño events, which peak in boreal fall/winter. For more information see OOPC State of the Ocean Climate
