The El Nino climate pattern occurs on average every two to seven years and usually lasts between nine to 12 months. REUTERSPIX: Australia's weather bureau confirmed on Tuesday that an El Nino weather pattern is under way, bringing hot and dry conditions that risk a severe wildfire season and drought.
The El Nino climate pattern occurs on average every two to seven years and usually lasts between nine to 12 months. It can bring severe droughts to Australia, Indonesia and other parts of southern Asia, coupled with increased rainfall in parts of southern South America, the southern United States, the Horn of Africa and central Asia.But Australia's government science agency earlier this year concluded that climbing global temperatures may increase both the likelihood of the pattern forming, and the severity of its impacts.
Worldwide, temperature records have tumbled in recent years, as climate change makes meteorological conditions more volatile. “The unusually hot weather we’re seeing across southeast Australia at the moment is a warning of the kind of extremes we’re likely to see more of over the next few months.”
