Cover Story: Southeast Australia is frequently impacted by drought, highlighting the need to monitor how drought drivers change over time. Analysis of seasonal precipitation and temperature trends for Canberra, Australia, revealed increasing drought vulnerability. Wavelet analysis suggests El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences precipitation and temperature in Canberra, although its impact on precipitation declines from the 2000s. Linear regression (LR) and support vector regression (SVR) detected annual precipitation attributes including ENSO, southern annular mode (SAM), Indian Ocean Dipole (DMI), and Tasman Sea SST anomalies. Drivers of mean maximum temperature (TMax) include DMI and global warming. SVR outperformed LR in predicting precipitation and TMax trends on testing data. View this paper.
