Leading scientists and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology are predicting this summer we will enter an El Niño weather pattern, which is significantly drier and, in some cases, hotter than average, with prolonged droughts and health risks from heat stress.

El Niño follows three years of La Niña which has seen record rainfalls in parts of Australia which has encouraged a surge in grass and forest growth and which as El Niño grips will quickly dry out and present a high and serious risk of fire.
