Climate Drivers

ENSO, IOD, SAM and MJO indices driving Australia's long-range weather patterns.

Madden–Julian Oscillation

RMM phase-space plot

Track runs oldest → newest; the dashed circle at radius 1 marks the weak/active threshold. Newest point highlighted.

Index history

Niño regions — weekly SST anomaly

Published records from NOAA CPC — the same figures quoted elsewhere, rather than our own computation, which would drift from them by whatever the method and baseline differ by.

Updated 2026-08-26Past 2 years

Shaded above +0.8 and below -0.8, the conventional El Niño and La Niña thresholds.

Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies

Australian / Western Pacific Region — Daily NOAA Coral Reef Watch 5km Analysis

LOADING SST DATA...

SST ANOMALY (°C)

-3-2-10+1+2+3
Cooler Than Normal

Below-average SSTs suppress tropical convection and reduce cyclone potential. Cool anomalies in the Indian Ocean may indicate a developing positive IOD.

Near Normal

Sea surface temperatures close to the long-term average. Tropical weather activity is driven primarily by atmospheric patterns rather than oceanic forcing.

Warmer Than Normal

Elevated SSTs increase atmospheric instability and fuel tropical cyclone development. Areas of warm anomaly in the Coral Sea and Arafura Sea are high-risk zones during cyclone season.
