A positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) could develop in the coming months, a signal mining and energy operators and fire agencies will want on their radar with it potentially increasing the likelihood of warm and dry weather over large areas of Australia in late winter and spring, with flow-on effects for water availability, dust/heat exposure, […]
For most of June, the Snowy Mountains looked like they’d skipped winter altogether. Now, 28 cm of fresh snow has fallen at Thredbo, providing a promising sign for the season’s eventual snowmelt contribution to hydropower. Thredbo in New South Wales was reporting 28 centimetres of snow overnight with snowfalls continuing this Friday morning, its nearby neighbour Perisher reported 25 cm, while Mt Hotham […]
