Record dry weather shows Australia’s climate future

State governments across Australia have pledged funding support for drought and other climate disasters in regional and rural areas. The South Australian government has pledged a further $55 million in funding support for drought affected farmers.

Grain farmers in Southern Australia are particularly impacted by drought as they rely on one hundred percent of their produce being rain-fed. While the climate disasters are becoming more common in Australia, the future impact these weather changes have is uncertain.
