NOAA: El Niño Is Officially Done 

Now ENSO-neutral conditions (neither El Niño or La Niña is present)

Near-average conditions in the tropical Pacific
Tropical atmospheric conditions have trended toward neutral, as the cloudiness and rainfall over the Pacific were near average over the past month
The trade winds also have been near average lately, indicating that Walker circulation, which weakens during El Niño, has shown signs of rebounding.

 A change to neutral could also impact the Atlantic hurricane season,
which typically ramps up this time of year and peaks in early-to-mid September. 
El Niño tends to produce hostile conditions for Atlantic hurricanes..

 A return to neutral means  that we will not get a decisive push from El Niño to the Atlantic
