SUMMER TEMPERATURE FORECAST
Compared
to a typical summer, experts predict:
Cooler temperatures, in comparison to maximum average temperatures.
More rain is expected to fall.
In turn, more Low Pressure Systems are expected over the east coast.
La Niña is commonly associated with unusually high levels of rainfall over eastern areas of Australia. The rain is a non-issue, although Deep Lows (e.g. pressures below 976 hectopascals) tend to create extreme cooling. These may disturb existing tropo ducts that have formed.
The
forecasts below were issued on the 25th of October by the Bureau of Meteorology. These are only forecasts, of course, and subject to the Disclaimer.
