What happened
The Bureau of Meteorology declared a very strong El Nino, forecasting an elevated risk of drought, heatwaves, and bushfires this summer. This climate pattern is causing severe weather, including storms, flooding, and droughts in Australia and North Africa. Economic modeling suggests bushfires could cost the Australian economy $181.7 billion over the next 30 years.
Why it matters
The event poses significant financial risk to the Australian economy, with bushfire damage accounting for major economic losses, including lost business output and damage to infrastructure. Furthermore, the reduced cold chill hours and potential water constraints are forecast to cause declines in Australian stone fruit production.

Who could feel it
Possible knock-on effectsThese are possibilities Brind reasoned out, not predictions, and not advice. Most are not stated in any report.
- North AfricaSpeculative
North Africa might face increased costs for water management due to severe droughts and floods.
- MoroccoSpeculative
Morocco may see changes in agricultural production due to direct exposure to the climate patterns.
- IndiaSpeculative
India could see shifts in agricultural output and infrastructure stability.
- AfricaSpeculative
Africa may face strain on resources and agricultural output due to reduced rainfall and higher temperatures.
