During last two super El Ninos (1997-98 & 2015-16), Nino 3.4 SST had maxima in Nov. and global mean T had maxima in Feb.  The current one has a strange behavior with Nino 3.4 max in Dec/Jan but global T in Sep.  Longterm global warming continues, but what will happen in February? pic.twitter.com/mDJ0qYZDOi
