New South Wales has experienced its second-driest April since records began, receiving a mere thirteen percent of its average monthly rainfall.

新南威尔士州经历了自纪录开始以来第二干燥的四月，降雨量仅为其月平均降雨量的百分之十三。

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, persistent high-pressure systems hovering over the state were primarily responsible for this unprecedented dry spell.

根据气象局的说法，持续盘旋在该州上空的高压系统是造成这场史无前例干旱期的主要原因。

The only April on record that proved drier was in 1997, underscoring the severity of the current environmental data.

有记录以来唯一比这更干燥的四月是在 1997 年，这凸显了当前环境数据的严重性。

Senior climatologist Hugh McDowell cautioned that the landscape was drying out rapidly, with soil moisture levels falling well below average across significant portions of the state.

资深气候学家休·麦克唐纳警告说，地表景观正在迅速干涸，该州大部分地区的土壤水分含量远低于平均水平。

He emphasized that these deteriorating conditions posed risks not only for agricultural communities but also for the upcoming bushfire season.

他强调，这些不断恶化的情况不仅对农业社区构成风险，也对即将到来的林火季节构成威胁。

Were the drought to persist through winter, its consequences for both farming and fire preparedness could prove severe.

倘若干旱持续到冬季，其对农业和防火准备工作的后果可能会非常严重。

Nationwide, rainfall fell below average in every state and territory except the Northern Territory, which was the sole jurisdiction to record above-normal precipitation.

在全国范围内，除了北领地是唯一记录到降雨量高于正常水平的管辖区外，每个州和领地的降雨量都低于平均水平。

The Bureau of Meteorology's long-range forecast indicated that these dry weather patterns were likely to persist well into winter.

气象局的长期预测显示，这些干燥的天气格局很可能会持续到冬季。

Climate analysis suggests that a developing El Niño phenomenon may be driving much of this atmospheric shift across the continent.

气候分析显示，正在发展中的厄尔尼诺现象可能是推动整个大陆大部分大气转变的原因。

Doctor Mandy Freund, a climate scientist at the University of Melbourne, described the looming El Niño as the proverbial elephant in the room.

墨尔本大学的气候科学家曼迪·弗罗因德博士将即将到来的厄尔尼诺现象描述为一个显而易见却被忽视的问题。

She argued that current indicators appeared remarkably strong, though she was careful to note that a powerful El Niño does not automatically translate into severe drought.

她主张目前的指标显得异常强劲，尽管她也谨慎地指出，强大的厄尔尼诺现象并不自动转化为严重的干旱。

Rather, it substantially elevates the probability of below-average rainfall, particularly from September through November.

更确切地说，它显著提高了降雨量低于平均水平的可能性，特别是从九月到十一月期间。
