After three years of heavy rain and record floods across eastern states, La Niña is finally over, but more extreme weather could be on the way. 7NEWS
According to the Bureau, El Nino and La Nina have the strongest influence on the climate changes for most of the country.La Nina occurs when ocean surface currents in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean change and draw cooler deep water from below.
The El Nino watch indicates a very different “high-risk severe weather season” is possible, according to Bureau meteorologist Sarah Scully. “An El Nino watch is that there’s a 50 per cent chance of an El Nino developing during 2023, so there’s still high uncertainty. “We’ve got heat building over WA and inland Australia due to a high-pressure system that’s developed in the upper atmosphere,” she said.
