On September 16, 2026, the BoM issued a warning. It is for a forecast 'super' El Niño. The agency says the event is set to become the most powerful on record.

However, BoM cautions that impacts will differ greatly across the nation. Not all areas will experience the same conditions.

The prediction relies on current data. But what happens depend on additional climate drivers.

Australia has complex weather conditions. Some areas may see increased rainfall. Others are expected to see dry conditions.
