Australia’s spring is heating up—and getting wetter, thanks to a record-breaking El Nino. Temperatures are forecast to soar above average from September through November, following a wet first half of the year that could make this the wettest El Nino on record since 1900. Rain bands are sweeping across Western Australia toward South Australia and the NT, while parts of NSW and Queensland see scattered showers amid clearer skies. Tasmania braced for 100+ km/h winds, easing by Saturday. While much of the country braces for rain, southeastern and eastern regions may face below-average rainfall, increasing fire risk in drier northeast NSW and southern Queensland. The Pacific’s unusually warm waters signal an El Nino peaking at record strength by late 2026—setting the stage for a volatile, regionally diverse season.
