One of the reasons for this, negative Indian Ocean dipole, is also why there is a drought in Sudan.
The rain that should be heading to East Africa is instead heading to Australia.
That along with a La Nina event (third one in 3 years) is bringing lots of rain to Aus. |  |

I'm yet to be able to get my head around the impacts on ENSO of increased stored energy in the ocean/atmosphere. I think, from what I've read, that the initial impact is likely to be more severe El Ninos / La Ninas rather than a swing towards one or the other, but I guess there are such massive interconnected global systems responding to each other and to a hotter base, that all bets are off. | |
