ENSO

El Nino threshold
Nino 3.4 anomaly +1.44 C
Latest NOAA monthly value: Jun 2026

Warm tropical Pacific conditions can shift monsoon circulation and Indian Ocean rainfall patterns, but local Maldives impacts vary by season and atoll.

Relative Nino 3.4 is BoM's current ENSO sea-surface temperature index.

Indian Ocean Dipole

Neutral
DMI +0.29 C
Latest NOAA monthly value: Jul 2026

IOD is near neutral by the latest monthly DMI value, so short-term monsoon and regional ocean conditions may be more important locally.

The IOD is a direct Indian Ocean driver and is especially relevant for Maldives regional context.

Monsoon / Regional SST

Southwest monsoon
SST near Male 30.0 C
Open-Meteo marine estimate: 2026-10-16T23:00

Very warm regional water can add stress for coral reefs and shallow lagoon habitats. This is broadly the wetter southwest monsoon season for Maldives.

The MJO can influence tropical rainfall pulses around the Indian Ocean on weekly to monthly timescales. This card will show a stronger current signal once a stable update feed is available.
