Drop everything, the Bureau of Meteorology is set to deliver the latest Climate Driver Update today and is expected to declare victory over La Niña. Late last week, America’s official weather experts announced it done, and our people are expected to follow suit. The wet/cool weather pattern has had eastern Australian in its thrawl for the last 3 years, and as anyone who’s experienced the floods, epic rainfall and neverending soggyness would say to her, don’t let the door hit you on the way out… At the end of all that, we’ve got to be in for a nice, regular period of uneventful weather, right? Soz but there is a high probability of extreme heat and dry conditions developing this year and beyond. That’s likely to be in the form of El Niño, but the experts say we’re in for it regardless of what the next weather pattern in the Pacific is. With all the growth that’s come from the rain, the Climate Council has already warned of a “powder-keg” ready to burn when it drys off in hot conditions. Yikes…
