There are stories all over about how dangerous the next El Niño will be. When we look at the empirical evidence however, it appears the peak has been reached in May already, short of the moderate El Niño threshold. You will note that it takes 90-days of sustained ocean surface temperatures to claim this. We have not yet breached this basic threshold but the indications are that the heat stored has already been depleted.
Not sure where they are getting their numbers from, but someone has really got a hope and poke mentality at NOAA and NASA. The empirical evidence is saying NO to any El Niño. Just a moderation before going cold again. Note the fall off slope of the second peak. This indicates that the heat has been used up.
