Final Notes
• Widespread showers and thunderstorms together with heavy rain areas from significant
tropical moisture will give rise to flooding over the NW and in particular the NE Pastoral.
• Significant rainfall totals may reach as high as 150mm.
• Ex TC moisture to link with cold front and trough to bring patchy rain to agricultural areas on
11th however whilst welcome, falls will be typically under 8mm at this stage.
• El Nino a very sure bet for 2026 with at least a moderate strength but possibly strong.
• IOD likely to be neutral though much harder to tell
• Broadly better autumn than 2025, similar to slightly better winter but taps turning off later
winter to early spring
• Increased risk of frost in any Elnino year
