The Bureau of Meteorology released its monthly and seasonal climate outlooks for November 2016 to January 2017 today.

The outlooks indicate:

• Wetter-than-average conditions likely in much of Western Australia, particularly along the northern coastline.
  
  
• Warmer-than-average days and nights likely in eastern Australia; also the far west of Western Australia.
  
  
• Cooler-than-average for inland and southern Western Australia.

Climate influences include a weakening negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and warm seas around northern Australia.
