#############Not much to report.
Weekly NINO3.4 SST anomalies for the week centered on February 17, 2010 show that central equatorial Pacific SST anomalies have leveled off for the past few weeks. Presently they’re at 1.21 deg C.

Weekly Global SST anomalies are still elevated. While they are lower than the peak this ENSO season, the Global SST anomalies appear content to cycle where they are now. There’s still no indication that there will be a lagged rise, but they also not dropping very quickly.
