The weather in Australia changes from time to time because of the special wind called El Niño. The country experiences periods of flooding due to heavy rainfall and periods of drought, during which some areas become so dry and the temperature so high that wildfires are a real problem. Scientists who are researching these weather changes are trying to measure the length of these periods historically by examining the growth rings in Australian trees. These rings are affected by the amount of rainfall in a certain period of time. Researchers hope this will help them predict the weather in Australia more accurately in the future.
