Southern hemisphere circulation patterns and anomalies for autumn (March to May) 1995 are reviewed, with emphasis given to the Pacific Basin climate indicators, and Australian rainfall and temperature patterns. Surface and subsurface temperature anomalies in the Pacific were consistent with a weakening of warm episode conditions. However, the overall pattern of positive pressure anomalies in the west of the tropical Pacific Ocean and negative anomalies to the east, which has dominated the tropical Pacific for more than five years, continued in autumn.
G.C. de Hoedt (Fri,) studied this question.
