In 1994 boreal fall (Sep-Nov), a strong positive IOD happened. Very cold SST is observed in the EIO and weak warming in the west. This was predicted from 1 June 1994. This IOD caused severe drought in EIO, Indonesia, East Asia, and Australia, floods in the WIO, South India, and East Africa. The climate impacts were also predicted basically despite some biases in the model.
