For many Australians, the term "El Niño" is not just a meteorological phenomenon. It’s a harbinger of hot, dry weather conditions that have profound implications on agriculture, water resources, and, unfortunately, pests.
El Niño is a complex climatic event characterised by prolonged warming in the Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures. It typically results in reduced rainfall, higher temperatures, and altered weather patterns. And, one of its consequences is the explosion of pest populations.
