A positive Indian Ocean Dipole may occur in 2026, which could potentially impact Australia and India's weather patterns. However, the development of an El Niño event is also expected, which may lead to reduced snowfall in Australia and a partially failed monsoon in India. The interaction between these two climate phenomena is being closely watched, with some scientists suggesting that a positive Indian Ocean Dipole could potentially offset the negative effects of El Niño on India's monsoon.
