Just in case our righties are still confused on El Niño and if we are in it (we don’t need more stupid discussions after the next cyclone)
Are we still in El Niño?
Yep.
Typically, we associate an El Niño with a hot, dry summer, however, there's been a lot of wet weather around the country lately.
Senior BOM meteorologist Andrea Peace says we're still very much in an El Nino.
"This is because sea surface temperatures are still meeting the right criteria," Ms Peace says.
"El Nino is known to affect the weather in certain ways, but there is no guarantee of those effects, especially when so many other factors are at play.”
