Is Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre Flooding (Inland Sea) happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~December. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre floods when heavy monsoonal and inland rains fill the Lake Eyre Basin, turning the normally dry salt pan into a saline lake.
Flood events are driven by upstream rainfall and river flow and produce short-lived inland seas that attract mass waterbird breeding and dramatic desert reflections.
