Thank you for your comment, but I am a bit confused about the focus on 2031-2032. Climate scientists do make decadal climate forecasts (see, for example, this site), but ENSO forecast skill is generally limited to less than 2 years. Any forecast skill beyond 2 years is pretty much limited to the influence of radiative forcing (like greenhouse gases) and very slowly varying ocean circulations, like that of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). So, basically, I wouldn't rule out anything in 2031-2032!
