“And it’s not just history suggesting El Niño is on its way but global forecast models are suggesting the same thing.”
In case you’re wondering what TF El Niño actually entails, it’s basically the hot version of La Niña. La Niña increases the chance of above average rainfall, which is why it’s been so wet and muggy in recent years. El Niño, on the other hand, increases temperatures, meaning our next summer will be steamy AF. “Climate change and El Niño should join forces to produce record-challenging heat,” Sharpe warned. Honestly amazed and impressed Sky News didn’t bleep out the term “climate change”. “Much of the country will be drier than usual, with an increased fire threat and droughts likely to begin in some areas, but dams should help communities get through until at least the end of next year,” he continued. “Essentially, it’s time to prepare for a shift from one extreme to the other.” If that wasn’t alarming enough, it was reported that if we do find ourselves in the sweaty grip of El Niño this year, it would be the hottest and driest El Niño on record.Heatwaves, elevated fire dangers, heavy rain, severe thunderstorms and tropical lows can be expected across the country this week.
