Nice summary of the unfolding transition, thanks to the NOAA ENSO team!

After closely following the conditions from the neutral 2019-20 season through the La Nina 'threepeat' to the current fading El Nino, and looking at the overarching narrative about the importance of ENSO (as a leading indicator of where climate is headed), it seems big industry and decision makers do not give much consideration to any of it:  As can be inferred from the practical absence of real-world policy actions guided by what is observed.  And it seems a bit disjointed. 

Indeed insurance as well as security organizations are keen on knowing what to anticipate in the future.  That's the basis of their professions.  But the public is too disconnected to the point where annoying clichées ("new normal" - blecch) are often the only recourse.  It is great resources like this excellent blog exist to fill in the void, but gosh, still have quite a way to go. 

Knowing where we've been and where we can be headed is only important if the information informs decisions.  It would be better if information like the data presented here held more prominence in our culture (above clichées especially) this "Information Age", beyond simple hurricane and precipitation probabilities on the evening news.

All to say, keep up the good work ENSO team!  We need it more than ever.
