State Of Our Enviroment

April 2016

There’s only so many different ways you can say dry and warm and I’m fast running out of them. It’s now the third consecutive month that we still find ourselves in not much more than a thong watering the garden like there’s no tomorrow. We averaged less than half of the normal April rainfall across the region and the southern coastal area had less than half that again. Rivers flows are all below normal, groundwater levels are near to below normal and soil moisture, particularly in the south of the region, is on a steady downward trajectory. Daytime temperatures were again hotter than usual, leaving some spending their evenings admiring their perfectly stacked wood pile rather than a captivating flame. Which is great because we’re kicking off our air quality reporting and it’s always a pleasure to report it’s all good… so far.
