The Chance of Rain
Sadly not in south-east Queensland
The National Climate Centre has releasted their latest climate outlook and unfortunately it’s not good news for the areas affected by drought. Most of New South Wales and south-east Queensland only have a 30 to 40 percent chance of receiving rain in the next three months.
On the other hand north and north-west Queensland can expect more rain than usual in the coming months.
Tropical Cyclone Xavier
The first cyclone of the season - Xavier - which blew up last week and quickly escalated to a category 5 has now blown itself out and is now little more than a depression that is generating high seas well to the north-east of Australia.
Even though the Weather Bureau forecasts this cyclone season to be quieter than last year that does not mean we should not be prepared here in Hervey Bay. If you haven’t done so already now is the time to check over your emergency kit and be prepared.
