Well, NOAA says El Nino has officially arrived. Huh? Australian Meteorological Bureau says no...maybe later this year. Japan says it happened last year (2014). 30-day smoothed Southern Oscillation Index is 0, where -8 indicates El Nino and +8 is La Nina. I'm confused. So much for consensus.

Of course, what do the models say? Nothing, they can't predict an El Nino. Never have, never will. I thought global warming was going to produce super El Nino's. Now it's weak. Sigh.

All glibness aside, El Nino is not a binary event. The Pacific is obviously in an anomalously warm phase; it's just not organized.
