On September 16, 2026, the Bureau of Meteorology issued a reality check. It is for a forecast 'super' El Niño. The agency says the event is set to become the strongest on record.
However, BoM cautions that effects will not be uniform across the country. Not all regions will experience the same effects.
The forecast relies on present data. But results depend on various climate factors.
Australia has diverse weather conditions. Some areas may see wetter conditions. Others are expected to see less rainfall.
