The La Nina weather pattern, which recently brought record floods and cyclones to Australia, is weakening, but there is a small risk that it could reform within the southern autumn season, Australia’s weather bureau said on Wednesday.
“All available climate models suggest further weakening of the La Niña is likely through autumn, with most indicating a return to neutral conditions by winter 2011. However, there remains some risk that the event may reform after autumn,” it said in a note on its Web site.
