Climate indicators of ENSO, including tropical cloud amount, the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), trade winds and Pacific sea-surface and sub-surface temperatures, all remain well in excess of La Niña thresholds. Most have exceeded these thresholds since the middle of 2010. The average August to December SOI (+ 21.1) has only been exceeded by the La Niña of 1917–1918 (+ 24.4), with the 1975–1976 La Niña value (+ 18.8) ranked third. Several other indices also suggest the La Niña events of 2010–2011, 1975–1976, 1917–1918, 1955–1956 and possibly 1988–1989, rank closely in terms of the strongest events on record.
