Abstract: We review the studies carried out during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA)‐EU on the changes of interannual sea surface temperature (SST)–West African monsoon (WAM) covariability at multidecadal timescales, together with the influence of global warming (GW). The results obtained in the AMMA‐EU suggest the importance of the background state, modulated by natural and anthropogenic variability, in the appearance of different interannual modes. The lack of reliability of current coupled models in giving a realistic assessment for WAM in the future is also stated. Copyright © 2011 Royal Meteorological Society
