While some La Niña-like conditions have led to cooler temperatures across some parts of Australia this spring, there is uncertainty around whether such conditions could continue through the remainder of the year.
Forecasts say there is a chance Australia could experience La Niña conditions through the rest of the year, but other models suggest a “neutral” spring and summer—meaning temperatures and rainfall would likely fall into average ranges across Australia and not conform to La Niña (wetter) or El Niño (drier) events.
