A thick cloudband will stretch thousands of kilometres next week from the warm tropical waters off northwest Australia to southeastern Australia, bringing rain and low solar output despite a sunny, dry seasonal outlook. The cloudy week may come as a surprise given the warm, dry, and sunny climate drivers currently in play – a very strong El Niño and a […]
Two key measures scientists use to track El Niño broke records in July 2026, indicating that a record-breaking event is underway with real implications for Australian businesses this spring and summer. The Bureau of Meteorology officially declared El Niño in mid-June 2026, with modelling at the time already indicating that this could be one of the strongest […]
The National Electricity Market (NEM) is bracing for one of its most active wind weeks of the year, with two powerful cold fronts bringing wind gusts which could force wind farms into cutouts at times. The first vigorous cold front is set to sweep across southeastern Australia late this week into early next, with another powerful front following closely behind during the middle of […]
NSW hydropower generation is climbing again after a soft beginning to the year, ahead of the biggest snowfall event this season with the potential for more than half a metre of snow forecast from late this week. A strong cold front with a freezing airmass is set to sweep across southeastern Australia late this week into next week, likely […]
