While Australia’s impact isn’t guaranteed, southern and eastern states face an 80% chance of hotter, drier springs. Sea temperatures in the Niño 3.4 region are projected to soar to 2.2–3°C — unprecedented. Compounding risks include a cooling Indian Ocean, which could trigger severe droughts like those before Australia’s 2019-2020 bushfires.
