June 22, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

The La Ni\u00f1a weather pattern in the tropical Pacific which has been bringing Queensland so much rain has officially ended.<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Meteorology announced the end of the 2021-22 La Ni\u00f1a on Wednesday, changing the official status to “La Ni\u00f1a Watch”.<\/p>\n

However, there is about a 50 per cent chance of another La Ni\u00f1a forming again during 2022.<\/p>\n

Most observations indicated a “neutral” El Ni\u00f1o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) level \u2013 neither La Ni\u00f1a nor El Ni\u00f1o \u2013 was likely to persist during winter.<\/p>\n

BOM head of long-range forecasting, Dr Andrew Watkins, said the Bureau has been monitoring the weakening La Ni\u00f1a over several weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA La Ni\u00f1a Watch does not change the outlook of above average rainfall for most of Australia over coming months,\u201d Dr Watkins said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bureau’s long-range outlook remains wetter-than-average, consistent with model outlooks from other global forecast centres.<\/p>\n

“(This is) reflecting a range of climate drivers including a developing negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and warmer-than-average waters around Australia.<\/p>\n

“Sea surface temperatures are currently warmer-than-average for much of the Australian coastline, particularly to the north and west. This pattern is likely to increase the chance of above-average winter-spring rainfall for Australia.”<\/p>\n

Currently, the IOD is neutral. But all climate model outlooks surveyed suggested a negative IOD was likely to form in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Rainfall across eastern and southern Australia is typically above average in winter and spring during a negative IOD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
