Below-average Spring rainfall is predicted for most of Australia (Photo: BOM)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 29, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bureau of Meteorology released its Spring outlook on Thursday, and it’s not good new for farmers.<\/p>\n

BOM has predicted a drier-than-average end to the year for much of Australia with Spring days likely to be warmer than average.<\/p>\n

The warm and dry outlook for Spring follows warmer-than-average winter days and one of the driest winters on record for large parts of the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bureau head of long-range forecasting Dr Andrew Watkins said the coming three months were unlikely to deliver significant widespread rainfall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, the outlook is not indicating an easing of conditions in drought areas,” Dr Watkins said.<\/p>\n

“But a drier-than-average outlook is not an outlook for no rain at all.<\/p>\n

“Significant rainfall events are always possible, so it’s important to keep a close eye on the seven-day forecast.<\/p>\n

“Winter was wet in parts of southern Victoria and western Tasmania, as well as central Queensland, but for most areas experiencing long-term rainfall deficiencies there was little relief.”<\/p>\n

A positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) remains the main driver of Australia’s climate over the coming months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A positive IOD is typically associated with below-average rainfall and warmer-than-average days\u00a0for large parts of southern and central Australia.<\/p>\n

The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the other main driver, is neutral, meaning it’s having little influence over Australia’s climate at the moment.<\/p>\n

Queensland\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Daytime temperatures are likely to be above average across the State during Spring.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overnight temperatures are likely to be above average.<\/p>\n

Drier-than-average conditions are likely for most of the State.<\/p>\n

The preliminary summary for Winter shows daytime and overnight temperatures were above average.<\/p>\n

Rainfall was below average and it was especially dry in southern Queensland.<\/p>\n

Brisbane had a particularly warm winter. Daytime temperatures are likely to be warmest on record, while overnight temperatures will likely be among the three warmest on record.<\/p>\n

Rainfall was below average.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
