I wanted to mention that this week's Niño 1+2 value is 28°C, which is warm. While this is a volatile region and does not define ENSO state, we haven't seen 28°C unless it followed a strong El Niño. 1989, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2008, 2015 and 2018 were respectable but under 28°C. pic.twitter.com/1qe4FUtewk
