In the absence of a strong “signal” from the Pacific Ocean (at best a weak La Niña event), the predicted probabilities of above normal rainfall totals over the summer rainfall region are not very high. The winter rainfall region may experience drier than normal conditions for the remainder of the 2024/25 summer season, going into autumn (April-May-June).

Also, below-normal maximum temperatures over the northern parts of the region are predicted and above-normal maximum temperatures are predicted southwards.
