- The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is now in positive territory (currently about +12). In order for La Nina to exist, the air pressure in Tahiti must be greater than the air pressure in Darwin (at the moment, the positive SOI figure indicates that this is so).
- The water in the Eastern Pacific needs to be considerably cooler than the water in the Western Pacific, which it currently is.
