Australia has several climatic regions which are affected by many different weather systems.
Australia has several climatic regions which are affected by many different weather systems. These weather systems vary from year to year, and are largely driven by changes in large-scale atmospheric circulation which can result in extreme weather events such as fires, floods or drought. Australia’s weather is influenced by several key climate drivers including:
• Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD)
• El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
• Southern Annular Mode (SAM)
• Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO)
• Australian Monsoon
