End of summer snapshot shows one of the warmest, wettest El Niño summers on record​

A volatile season of heat, storms, humidity, and flooding has seen Australia record one of its wettest El Niño summers on record.

Despite the increased rain, according to the Bureau of Meteorology's preliminary summer recap, Australia looks set to record its third warmest summer on record, behind 2018-19 and 2019-20, comparing all years back to 1910

Persistent and heavy rain on the east coast also landed Australia its third wettest summer for an El Niño year, behind 2009-10 and 1994-95, though Western Australia and Tasmania have been left wanting.

"We have had a bit of everything this summer — tropical cyclones, floods, fires, heatwaves and dry conditions on the west coast," Monash University climate scientist Kim Reid said.

The Bureau's official national summer wrap and maps will be released later today.

But a look at the available data shows several Australian capitals recorded some of their highest summer temperatures on record, made particularly uncomfortable in the east by warm nights and high humidity.

With so much cloud here my second sowing of lettuce and cabbage failed to the point that I tilled the bed yesterday.
