I agree we're not seeing widespread strong westerly winds of the type that preceded 97-98, 15-16, but I think we are seeing an uptick in westerly wind anomalies, especially when compared to the previous three years. Some real-time plots I consult are from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis:

CFSR (I like Carl Schreck's page here).. have to select winds and 850mb:   https://ncics.org/portfolio/monitor/mjo/
