The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed the presence of the climate pattern based on recent ocean temperature readings. Officials said the development marks a shift from neutral conditions that prevailed earlier in the year.
Meteorologists are evaluating the possible strength of the event and locations where associated changes in temperature and precipitation may occur. Heat and drought conditions have been identified as possible outcomes in some areas. The agency will continue monitoring ocean and atmosphere indicators to refine forecasts as additional data become available.
