On September 16, 2026, the BoM 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 consequences will vary significantly across Australia. Not all areas will experience the same effects.
The prediction relies on current data. But outcomes depend on additional climate factors.
Australia has varied weather patterns. Some areas may see increased rainfall. Others are expected to see drought.
