Northern Territory announces summer season to launch early from September 2022
Tourism NT is inviting Aussies to head north and catch an early summer, in response to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) reporting a 50 percent chance that La Niña will form again later in 2022.[1]
A wet outlook is predicted for the next three months for the southern and eastern states as the BOM has announced that a negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event is underway.[2]
New research commissioned by Tourism NT has found that 84 percent of Australians feel their ability to enjoy summer has been impacted over the past three years due to bushfires, floods, La Niña or Covid-19.[3]
Sample was provided by the consumer research panel provider Pureprofile and comprised a sample of 2,000 respondents, distributed across Australia, regional and rural areas.
