Got a feeling a very wet Autumn/Winter coming up
Was only reading about this the other night.
Long term drivers The Indian Ocean Dipole and the El Nino Southern Oscillation are both neutral. Short term drivers Southern Annual Mode and something I can't recall off the top of my head are both also neutral. This suggests rainfall patterns through Autumn to remain around average, temperatures may be a little higher than average.
The Coral Sea is warmer than normal, this usually means higher rainfall, however the tropical western Pacific Ocean is warmer than normal so that will draw moisture away from Australia reducing the influence of the Coral Sea temperature.

PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
