Summary
The Bureau of Meteorology reports that the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has entered an El Niño phase as of June 2026. El Niño events are a natural Pacific Ocean cycle that can influence global weather patterns. For Australia, El Niño typically brings drier conditions to central and eastern regions during winter and spring, though other climate factors also play a role in shaping Australia's weather.
