The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting a cold and wet spring.

That's because another La Nina event is likely to occur.

 

The Bureau uses a scale to indicate its expectation of a La Nina event happening in the current year, and it has now moved that scale from "La Nina Watch" to "La Nina Alert".
