The ENSO forecast for the fall is less confident, with odds of a second-year La Ni\u00f1a currently hovering around 50\u201355%. You can read a lot more details on their blog at <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.gov\/news-features\/blogs\/enso\/may-2021-enso-update-bye-now-la-ni%C3%B1a\">https:\/\/climate.gov\/news-features\/blogs\/enso\/may-2021-enso-update-bye-now-la-ni%C3%B1a<\/a>. If you are wondering how it will affect the hurricane season, we usually have a fairly active season in neutral summers, so that is not likely to change, but it also depends on sea surface temperatures, dust coming off of Africa, and other factors, and NOAA will be considering all of these before they issue their outlook for the 2021 season. The IRI forecast shows that neutral conditions are likely to continue over the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2021\/05\/ENSO-forecast-5-14-2021.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2021\/05\/ENSO-forecast-5-14-2021-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2021\/05\/ENSO-forecast-5-14-2021-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2021\/05\/ENSO-forecast-5-14-2021-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2021\/05\/ENSO-forecast-5-14-2021-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2021\/05\/ENSO-forecast-5-14-2021.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the latest ENSO blog by NOAA, La Ni\u00f1a is now officially over and we have returned to neutral conditions as of May 13, 2021.
