[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 671914, member: 4728"] Found the following on the net relevant to this month. El Ninos are typified by long drier and drought like conditions across Australia. What we don't want is a wet spring promoting lots of growth plunging into a dry summer. That could be a bushfire recipe for disaster. "Australia's Bureau of Meteorology has announced an El Niño event is "likely in the coming weeks", but has again held off declaring that it is underway, despite having satisfied its own criteria. [HEADING=1]Key points:[/HEADING] [LIST] [*]The Bureau of Meteorology has held off declaring El Niño for another fortnight, putting it at odds with international weather agencies [*]El Niño development is considered "likely" in the coming weeks, according to the BOM [*]The key atmospheric indicators remain in a mostly neutral state, preventing the declaration [/LIST] The decision puts the bureau at odds with other international weather agencies, such as the US National Ocean Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the World Meteorological Organization, who have said El Niño is already underway."
