The UP model predicts a cool ENSO state toward summer, while most models predict a weak La Nina event. Notwithstanding the high rainfall totals received in June, the SW Cape is still expected to experience below-normal rainfall totals for most of the winter and springs months. Spring is expected to be mostly drier than normal over the summer rainfall regions. Cooler than normal maximum temperatures are expected over some areas at the beginning of the forecast period. Mostly warmer than normal maximum temperatures are expected over the larger region from late winter, except over the southern and western coastal regions where is may be cooler than normal.
