Australia's Bureau of Meteorology predicts a weak, short-lived La Niña event with reduced likelihood.

Australia's Bureau of Meteorology reports a reduced likelihood of a La Niña weather event in the coming months, predicting that if it occurs, it will be weak and short-lived. This prediction is supported by the bureau's climate model and four out of six others surveyed. La Niña significantly influences global agriculture, typically increasing rainfall in some regions while decreasing it in others. Previously, a U.S. forecaster estimated a 60% chance of La Niña by November.
