Our dry start to the year hasn't helped. We're in catch-up mode at present, but the next 2 weeks look quite good IMO.
It’s been really noticeable here. We had about average when you combine May and June, but things are really dry. Creek flows are low, and the forests have almost no standing water. It needs to keep rain, otherwise summer could get nasty fast.
The further north you go the worse, with NSW parched. There are a lot of bushfires already up there.
Btw strangely mild post this front. Nearly 11C in the city and been raining across the alps this arvo. Slowly cooling off, but odd gettting such mild air following such a cracker of a frontal passage.
