What happened
The Bureau of Meteorology officially declared El Nino, warning of a hotter and drier summer across Australia. The agency predicts below-average rainfall across most of the eastern half of Australia between August and October. While the El Nino signal is strong, the resulting spring is expected to be geographically fragmented due to opposing climate forces.

Why it matters
The climate pattern directly influences regional weather and agricultural planning. While some livestock agents noted short-lived slumps in prices, others suggested that good pasture growth and export demand could support a steady climb in livestock prices if rain arrives.
La Niña is currently offsetting the warming caused by El Nino, with both climate trends being tracked by the World Meteorological Organization and the IPCC.
