Australia will continue to see a spike in extreme rainfall and heat, as well as more dangerous fire events, its government agencies warned.

In a biennial climate report, Australia’s national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation , and the Bureau of Meteorology said it had already found “an increase in extreme heat events, intense heavy rainfall, longer fire seasons and sea level rise” recently. The changes are happening more rapidly and will put further pressure on Australia to transition its economy away from fossil fuels, the agencies warned.

Australia has seen the devastating effects of the climate crisis up close recently, from marine heat waves that have caused mass coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef to extreme weather events including flooding. This year, the country experienced a rare third consecutive La Niña weather pattern, which brought heavier and more frequent downpours, causing rivers to burst their banks, flooding communities near the coast and inland.
