Much of the northern #Murray-Darling Basin begins 2021 in drought. Persistent rain would turn things round so fingers crossed La Nina delivers. Meanwhile more water in southern storages has raised allocations for irrigators. It remains a tale of two Basins https://t.co/ONmFIKGcSp

Why not start the new year with some new science?
We looked at the different weather systems that bring rainfall, and found the declining cool season rainfall in southeast Aus since 1997 is linked to a decline in rain from lows and fronts.

The differing role of weather systems in southern Australian rainfall between 1979–1996 and 1997–2015

Most of the rainfall in southern Australia is associated with cyclones, cold fronts, and thunderstorms, and cases when these weather systems co-occur ...
