This week marks a milestone achievement of cooperation between 11 Pacific nations and Australia in monitoring the climate, with the celebration of the 100th Online Climate Outlook Forum.
The Online Climate Outlook Forum (OCOF) is a monthly teleconference where climate officers from 11 countries across the Pacific get together to discuss and analyse the climate in the past month, and what to expect in the next few months.
This includes predicting how much rainfall could be coming, looking at El Niño and La Niña, talking about what happens with ocean temperatures and sharing the impacts that countries are experiencing, such as food and water shortages.
