What does the BOM spring forecast mean for travellers?
For the 2026 spring season, the BOM’s long-range model suggests above-median rainfall for much of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, particularly from September through November. This is influenced by a developing positive Indian Ocean Dipole and a neutral El Niño–Southern Oscillation. If you’re planning a trip, the Australia weather hub has more detail, but the key takeaway is that spring will be warm and potentially stormy in the east. Pack a mix of light layers and a waterproof jacket, especially if you’re heading to the coast. The 28 day long range weather forecast can help you fine-tune your packing closer to departure.
