Dry seasons and drought
Long-term records show that our climate is becoming warmer and drier. This trend is expected to continue, with dry seasons likely to become more frequent over southern Western Australia.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development provides data and information on seasonal weather through its network of automatic weather stations and seasonal climate forecasts through the Statistical Climate Information system.
In dry years, the department provides information to assist growers and agribusiness to manage seasonal conditions and their consequences.
