Bureau issues Climate Outlooks for February to April 2016

28/01/2016

The Bureau of Meteorology today issued its monthly and seasonal climate outlooks for February to April 2016 .

The outlook for the next three months indicates that rainfall is likely to be above average in central and southern Australia, and drier than average in the far north.

Daytime temperatures are favoured to be below average over inland areas, but higher than average in the far south and far north of the country.

Meanwhile, the nights will be warmer than average in the north, as well as in western and southern coastal regions.

Climate influences include a record-warm Indian Ocean basin, a weakening El Niño and warm sea surface temperatures around much of the Australian coastline, and particularly around Tasmania.
