Saw the recent NOAA ENSO Climate Prediction Center SST time map illustration of the equatorial Pacific, as well as the Columbia Climate School IRI ENSO forecast.  Very surprising to see what might be the beginnings of a break down back to neutral, despite the relatively high SST trends?  (A fourth year of La Niña isn't possible..?)

If a return to neutral is the case, there are far more variables involved that models have yet to account for.  That pent up oceanic heat shouldn't be breaching fundamental laws of thermodynamics, unless other surreptitious forces are at play, chuckle-chuckle! 

Good work as always, looking forward to the findings of the next update!
