Rounding up climate tools for Australian farmers

[Climate Kelpie @ClimateKelpie]

Better forecasts, practical climate tools & products plus producer case studies. These have all been the result of 2 projects instrumental in putting climate forecasting at the fingertips of farmers. Read more about the achievements of #MCV & #FWFA here: https://t.co/rshQUBQ26b

It was the second-wettest spring on record for Australia behind only 2010 and the coolest spring since 2010. Almost all of Aus had above average rainfall except parts of #WA and western #TAS and most of the southern mainland had below average temperatures: https://t.co/4TP4WjCBCK

What happens when #workingdogs are let of the leash? Well, in some instances not much but other times they can run absolutely wild. And this is exactly what the #climatedogs have been doing in 2022! Read what ENSO, Indy, Sam & Mojo have been up to here: https://t.co/xbFdn2slta

Did you know that rivers can occur not just on the earth but in the sky too? These are known as atmospheric rivers & they contribute to 20-35% of SE Aus & 10-20% of SW Aus annual rainfall. They can however also be quite disastrous. Find out how here: https://t.co/qNd6C0TuUh

The warming trend outlined in previous State of the Climate reports is continuing. Australia is experiencing climate change now with impacts felt by many communities. Find out more here: https://t.co/GD0upPpCvZ

So how good are the seasonal forecasts? Well a form guide to understand how good or skillful a seasonal #forecast is for a region and season of interest has been developed by @CSIRO. Read about the AgScore software here: https://t.co/j6oPE4CJid #climate

Although La Niña is in the spotlight right now with a rare 3-in-a-row event underway, @BOM_au wet outlooks for the rest of the year reflect not only La Niña, but also a number of climate drivers.

So you've heard of 'mixed herbs' but have you heard of a #ENSOModoki flavour? OK, OK, no surprise we are talking climate! Scientists have been discovering that El Niño & La Niña events are not all the same and that they tend to have a ‘flavour’. Read more https://t.co/vrmHXd7rCr

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]

Above average rainfall is likely across eastern states over coming months reflecting the influence of several key climate drivers including a persisting #LaNiña and a negative Indian Ocean Dipole event. Learn more in our Climate Driver Update: https://t.co/FMwRFTEnCH

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]

November to January rainfall is likely to stay above average for the eastern half of Australia. Warmer days are likely in the west and Tasmania, while cooler days are likely for large parts of eastern Australia. Learn more: https://t.co/t0sFNJQyxx

Last 12 months rainfall shows many areas of highest-on-record (since 1900) in SE Australia, but bottom 10% (decile 1) in NT & western facing coastlines of southern Australia.
A complex combination of negative IOD, La Niña, positive SAM, MJO, Climate Change + more. #NotJustLaNina

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]

The Climate and Water Outlook for August to October indicates a high chance of above average rainfall remains for the eastern half of Australia. Any further rain increases the flood risk, particularly in eastern Australia.

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]

#LaNiña is underway and the negative Indian Ocean Dipole (#IOD) event continues.

When these conditions combine, the likelihood of above average rainfall over Australia is further increased, particularly for the eastern half of the country: https://t.co/pSFVyo9npP

A nice #LaNina explainer video from the Australian @Science_Academy about how the Pacific ocean and atmosphere reinforce each other to create a 'locked-in' pattern. (With cameos from me...)

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]

A #LaNiña event is underway in the Pacific Ocean. The Bureau's 3-month climate outlook shows a high chance of above-average rainfall for the eastern half of Australia. La Niña is not the only driver influencing this wet outlook. Learn more - https://t.co/Sxi7noGXVN
