This is correct.

We have just come out of a longer than normal cooler La Niña period.

We are now moving into the warmer El Niño phase. The last El Niño event we had was in 2015/16 which was described as a “super El Niño” as a result of the heat it created.

The Argo floats are currently collecting about 12,000 data profiles each month (400 a day).
