Chris, Spot on re BoM they are looking for warming but most objective tests cannot see any warming in most locations, but the last few years have been warm, as they have been before

@Oscarthefarmer We should be. The gaps are where it matters most. Follow WA. Three new radars at least. Royalties to Regions

@KimbarPark No not quite Andrew and a chance of getting through if below par. Like the second opinion line. That’s how it should be treated D

@ed_hawkins can you do those for other places? It's super useful.

Anyone know what bird this is?
Not best pic, guess 90cm tall, reasonably solid build, large wing span. Seen on farm numerous times this week

[David Freebairn @DavidFreebairn]

@Oscarthefarmer Yes but CliMate now on Android has simple Howwet?

[David Freebairn @DavidFreebairn]

@Oscarthefarmer True. So what the options? Dry sow, deep big seeds, wait. But most years are like this and forecast is neutral ie no idea

[David Freebairn @DavidFreebairn]

@Oscarthefarmer So soil water is the big factor in years like this https://t.co/Om8ga15Tz0

[David Freebairn @DavidFreebairn]

@Oscarthefarmer Extend by a month and odds increase to 2/3rd years and 30% chance of >250 to mid Oct

[David Freebairn @DavidFreebairn]

@KimbarPark Never much rain in that dust Andrew
