The UP model predicts moderate to weak La Niña conditions to persist throughout most of the 2022/2023 early and mid-summer season. There is an increased likelihood for an above-normal rainfall season towards mid-summer over the summer rainfall region. Mostly warmer-than-normal maximum temperatures are expected over the larger forecast region during spring. Cooler than average maximum temperatures are expected to set in during mid-summer in association with the increased likelihood of a wet summer in the summer rainfall region.
