Current forecasts by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicates El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Neutral. This means there is an equal chance of below or above average rainfall in the Bay Area during the rainy season. The rainy season spans from October 15 - April 15, and there is a chance that La Niña could develop later in the year.
