Australia's weather bureau reports a 50% chance of a potential La Niña weather event developing in the Pacific Ocean.

Australia's weather bureau reports early indications of a potential La Niña weather event developing in the Pacific Ocean later this year. La Niña typically brings wetter weather to eastern Australia and southeast Asia, while drier conditions prevail in the Americas. The bureau has declared a "La Niña Watch," indicating a 50% chance of the event developing. Cooler sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean cause La Niña, while warmer temperatures result in an opposite phenomenon called El Niño.
