La Nina wet weather system slowly weakening – Australian weather

After one of the wettest years on record, Australia’s weather forecaster says a La Nina weather pattern, associated with wet weather, is slowly weakening, although a separate weather system will keep the odds of rain high until mid-January.
Record rainfall caused waves of severe flooding across Australia in 2022. Floods in March and October displaced tens of thousands along the populous east coast. Sydney recorded its wettest year in 164 years.
The Bureau of Meteorology in September declared a rare third consecutive annual La Nina event, known for producing wet and windy summers.
But a new climate model published on Wednesday suggested La Nina will ease over the southern hemisphere summer as the Pacific Ocean warms.
