Are we witnessing the end of the worst drought in living memory?
Two weeks ago we saw the first of (three) a deep low pressure system off the NSW coast. That system brought wide spread rain and flooding and a week later it was followed by another low which brought more rain. Sydney has recorded 374mm for the month up to 18 June, the wettest June in 44yrs, and another even deeper low system is building off the NSW coast again today.....the 19th June.
And at the same time an upper trough of moist air is being carried from northern Western Australia across to the tropical areas of eastern Queensland. This trough over the northwest is generating unseasonable rain over the northern tropics.
According to Peter Andrews this could be a signal of the end of the current drought across much of Australia.
End of the drought???

Re: End of the drought???
I thought I would revisit this blog....if only to say Peter predicted this way back in 2007.
