There has not been an El Nino since 2010. The Pacific has been quiet in terms of hurricanes and typhoons. I think an El Nino could spark it up again. When there is El Nino, it helps warm the PDO up as we are in a cool PDO, which means less tropical activity. It could also help spark up the Atlantic despite the fact that El Nino reduces hurricanes in the Atlantic. Some of the most active hurricane seasons occurred in El Nino seasons like 1969 and 2004.

No El Nino. The last time we had a long gap without El Nino was 1997-1998 to 2002-2003. By late 2002, PDO warmed up again until 2008.
