Heavy rains were expected to begin Down Under’s summer earlier than usual this year, as forecast by Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology due to La Nina, the dropping of sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial region of the central Pacific Ocean. Even though summer has not yet arrived, people can already see the results of the unusual weather. The typical October rainfall in Melbourne is about 65 millimetres. Up to this point, the city has gotten 120mm of precipitation in 2018.
