99-100% chance El Niño will last at least 6 more months:

Hurricane Polo, off the coast of Mexico went from a Tropical Storm to a Cat 5 hurricane in 24 hours.
Hurricane Polo especially surprised scientists. It grew from a tropical storm to a powerful Category 5 in less than 24 hours. Gabriel Vecchi studies hurricanes at Princeton University. He said, in his research, he's never seen anything like it.

El Niño has caused hurricanes to form further to the south and west this year, according to Matthew Rosencrans, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s lead forecaster for the seasonal hurricane outlook, which “puts them in a place where they could make that westward run towards the Hawaiian islands”.
It also makes for a lagging storm season. Hurricane risks typically extend from July to the end of November but fall off into the later months. September and October are far busier in El Niño years.

Nolo popped up quickly for us. The paths for Lala and Nolo were unusual to say the least. The busy Pacific storm season will most likely continue, with more surprises along the way. We’re in uncharted waters.
