The outlook calls for a 40 to 50 percent chance of above normal
temperatures along with a 33 to 40 percent chance of above normal
precipitation through the period.


ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation)...

...La Nina Watch...

ENSO-Neutral conditions are present. Equatorial sea surface
temperatures are above average across the western Pacific and near-
to-below-average in the eastern Pacific Ocean. ENSO-Neutral is
expected to continue for the next several months, with La Nina
favored to emerge during September-November with a 66 percent chance
and persist through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2024-25 with a 74
percent chance during November-January.
