The Bureau of Meteorology has released its long-term outlook, which indicates that a record-breaking summer in Australia is expected to turn into an autumn of warm days and nights.
It also noted that the country will experience less rainfall during the coming months.
Although the final data from the summer is yet to be analyzed, it is expected that every region and state will experience above-average temperatures.
The summer in Australia was characterized by heavy rainfall across the nation and Western Australia, which is expected to have its warmest summer since 2018.
According to the Bureau, the end of El Nino means that the country will likely experience below-normal rainfall.
However, it noted that an unusual high temperature is expected to occur across the country in the autumn.
According to the Bureau, most parts of Australia are expected to experience above-normal temperatures during the autumn.
Dr Lynette Bettio, a senior climate scientist, noted that there is a 60 to 70 percent chance that the country will receive below-normal rainfall.
However, the northern wet season will contribute to the highest median rainfall in the country’s tropics.
In addition, she noted that active monsoon bursts, tropical cyclones, and storms can still occur in the north.
This means that residents should be prepared for severe weather.
The agency noted that the likelihood of below-normal rainfall ranges from 60 to 75 percent during autumn.
Most of the country’s eastern regions, including Sydney and the Hunter, are expected to receive above-normal rainfall.
On the other hand, the majority of the country’s south and southwest corner, as well as the Northern Territory, are expected to receive below-normal precipitation.
