Long Range Outlook: High Pressure Dominance
El Nino lends itself to stubbornly clear weather patterns across the Aus/NZ region, this year we expect little adjustment to this anticipated outlook.
Whilst ENSO has its direct impacts centred over the Pacific Basin, thousands of kilometres from the Australian and New Zealand alpine, its teleconnections exert influence well beyond the tropics. Changes in tropical convection ultimately alter the broader hemispheric circulation, influencing the circumpolar pattern that drives winter weather across our region.
