Almost all of Australia, including the capital cities, is very likely to experience another "unusually warm" winter, according to the Bureau of Meteorology's (BOM) official winter outlook.

The June to August forecast shows large swathes of WA's south, Queensland, Victoria, NSW, Tasmania and southern South Australia are at least 3.5 to 4 times more likely to have both day-time and night-time temperatures in the top 20 per cent of all records.

It comes after 2023 saw Australia's warmest winter on record, with some meteorologists saying this year could be even warmer for some locations, though the BOM was cautious in making the same call.

For those hoping for a good snow season, it's a forecast that might sound concerning.

But BOM senior climatologist Simon Grainger said it wasn't out of the question.

A warm winter outlook doesn't mean there won't be individual days of frost, colder weather, or snow, but rather that the odds are favouring temperatures to be warmer than normal overall across the season.

"Snowfall in south-east Australia is really determined by cold fronts, and weather systems that we can forecast in the short term," Dr Grainger said.

"So we can still get a single, big weather event that could make a significant difference to the overall snow season."

Edit: Brisbane city is under there. Airports are in chaos this morning.

Doesn’t sound good, sounds like a dry winter season for you. We had that last winter, and now Spring has been rain rain rain.
