🇧🇷 El Niño and La Niña in Brazil
El Niño is currently active (Niño 3.4: +3.4 °C), so these effects are the ones to watch now.
How much warmer (+) or colder (−) than normal the sea is this week in the Niño 3.4 zone of the Pacific.
Oceanic Niño Index: the 3-month average of that anomaly. It is NOAA's official index: +0.5 °C or more means El Niño; −0.5 °C or less, La Niña.
The real sea surface temperature measured there, not the difference from normal.
