🌊 El Niño watch
| Ocean off Ecuador (Niño 1+2) +5.4°C Much warmer than normal Sea 26.7°C · week of 28 Oct |
4-week trend Steady |
Central Pacific (Niño 3.4) +3.4°C the region NOAA uses to declare El Niño |
What this means: Niño 1+2 is the patch of ocean right off the coast of Ecuador and Peru. When it runs warm for weeks, the Peninsula usually gets more rain, warmer nights and a higher risk of flooding — this is the "coastal El Niño". These numbers are NOAA's weekly measurements; they are not an official El Niño declaration. For the official status see NOAA's ENSO advisory and INAMHI.
