BOM forecasts wet autumn for some as La Niña weather system declines

The much-discussed La Niña phenomenon has brought the best wet season for years in the Top End and a welcome change to rainier conditions for most of the country, but some still missed out this summer.

Key points:

• BOM suggests wetter than average conditions are expected to continue for eastern Australia
• La Niña is set to bid farewell but there are encouraging signs of rain for those who need it
• Bushfires risks will remain for parts of WA and Queensland this autumn

And the Bureau of Meteorology [BOM] autumn outlook is for wetter-than-average conditions in the east.

According to BOM climatologist Naomi Benger, La Niña will continue to wield influence into autumn even though it is weakening.

"The typical lifecycle of La Niña is that it decays through autumn," she said.

"We are expecting it to decay through early autumn, but we are still seeing quite strong signals in the atmosphere, even though some of the oceanic measurements are hinting towards the decay."

Hence, encouraging signs of rain in areas that need it.

"We are expecting above average rainfall in eastern and some northern parts, including those parts of Queensland that have missed out so far this year," Dr Benger said.

And cyclone season isn't over until the end of April.


Above-average minimum temperatures are expected to continue across most of the country, with the exception of central and western South Australia and south-eastern Western Australia.

Daytime temperatures are expected to be above average for the far north and south as well as the far west.

Bring on the wet
So far, La Niña's impact has fallen well short of infamous flood years like 2011 and 1974.

Summer still has a few days to go and, according to Dr Benger, rain has been above average for the nation as a whole and the highest seen since the summer of 2016-17.

The Top End is finally enjoying a wet season worthy of the name after the last two failed. The Red Centre is tinged with green and Uluru's valleys have become waterfalls several times this summer.

Exclusive: Why Are People Rushing To Buy This New $49.95 Smartwatch? The Benefits Are Incredible

An upstart tech company has gone viral with their discount smartwatch that is poised to disrupt the entire industry


For years, the smartwatch industry has been dominated by a few key players. These large companies had a monopoly and set prices as high as they wanted (and in some cases have questionable privacy policies) because they controlled the market – but now a new tech startup is disrupting this $5 billion industry and turning the smartwatch market on its head.

Facebook Container protects you from being tracked

Keep Facebook off your trail

You see them everywhere: those little "F" buttons from Facebook. Sure, they let you share things quickly to your profile.

But they also let Facebook follow and collect information about you without your consent — even if you don't have an FB account.

So we built the Facebook Container extension. It keeps FB out of your business when you're not in their app. Not on FB these days? It works with Instagram, FB Messenger and Workplace, too.

Fun Fact: Giant Swallowtail Butterflies
The giant swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes) is the largest butterfly species in North America! Perhaps the most astounding aspect of this species is the caterpillar stage. At first, the caterpillar looks like bird droppings (a type of mimicry), but once it feels threatened, it reveals a part of its body called the osmeterium, which is meant to look like the forked tongue of a snake!
