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 largest on record.
However, BoM cautions that impacts will vary significantly across Australia. Not all parts will experience the same impacts.
The prediction relies on latest data. But what happens depend on other climate factors.
Australia has varied weather patterns. Some areas may see wetter conditions. Others face drought.
