SYDNEY, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Strong winds and a rare, intense heatwave in early spring fanned dozens of bushfires across Australia's southeast, prompting extreme fire danger warnings on Wednesday for the greater Sydney region, home to more than 5 million people. Parts of Australia are sweltering in an unusual five-day burst of spring heat, forecast to last until Wednesday, pushing temperatures well above the September average. After three years of heavy rains and frequent flooding, Australia is bracing for a warm and dry southern hemisphere spring and summer in 2023. On Tuesday, Australia's Bureau of Meteorology declared an El Nino weather pattern, typically associated with wildfires and droughts, was underway.

The last time an El Nino was in place, in 2016, the world saw its hottest year on record. DECLARING EL NINOMost experts look to two agencies for confirmation that El Nino has kicked off — NOAA and Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). The two agencies use different metrics for declaring El Nino, with the Australian definition slightly stricter. On Tuesday, Australia issued their own bulletin, noting a 70% chance of El Nino developing this year. Experts say that a strong El Nino could hit sugar production in India and Thailand, and possibly disrupt the sugarcane harvest in Brazil.

☆ Australia's economy expands 2.3% in the first quarter, slowest growth in 1½ years
  + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Lim Hui Jie | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Loop Images | Universal Images Group | Getty ImagesAustralia's first-quarter gross domestic product expanded by 2.3% year-on-year, just slightly below analyst expectations. "Private and public gross fixed capital formation were the main drivers of GDP growth this quarter," Keenan said. The GDP readings are key to the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision making process for its monetary policy. In this "narrow path" that Lowe envisions, Australia's inflation returns to its 2% to 3% target range, the economy continues to grow, and gains in the labor market are preserved. But it is a narrow path and likely to be a bumpy one, with risks on both sides," Lowe said.

☆ Robust or vulnerable? Experts are split on Australia's economic outlook
  + stars: | 2022-10-16 | by ( Lee Ying Shan | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
According to Australia's Bureau of Statistics, Australia's inflation rate rose to 6.1 in June, a 21-year high. Australia's unemployment rate stood at 3.5% in August, and household savings ratio fell to 8.7% in the March to June quarter. Additionally, a small share of borrowers with high debt and low savings are "vulnerable" to payment difficulties. In addition, Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones cautioned that Australia's economy is not "hermetically sealed" from the forecasted downturn of the international economy, Sky news reported. This will in turn have an impact on Australia's growth forecast.
