A Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) signal was present over the Western Pacific (Phases 6 and 7) during the third week of September. For Week 1, most models predict this signal to propagate from the Western Hemisphere (Phase 1) to the Indian Ocean (Phases 2 and 3). For Week 2, most models predict the MJO signal to become inactive.
