Is the sigh of relief warranted?   The Bureau of Meteorology has released its long-range forecast which shows we are still in an active La Niña phase, with models indicating a move towards neutral or El Niño status.  We know that ENSO phases are not the only factor in whether floods will occur, nor ar (614 words, Feb 27, 2023)
