The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) stated in its update that although la Nina conditions might appear during the next three months, they are expected to be mild and transient.
Between December 2024 and February 2025, there is a 55% likelihood of moving from neutral circumstances (neither El Niño nor La Niña) to La Niña conditions, according to forecasts from the WMO Global Producing Centers of Long-Range Forecasts. After this time frame, there is a 55% chance that ENSO-neutral conditions would resume between February and April of 2025.
With changes in tropical atmospheric circulation, such as winds, pressure, and rainfall, La Nina is characterized by a notable decrease of ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.
