Adelaide is on track to record its lowest July rainfall figure since 1924, says the Bureau of Meteorology.
According to a report in The Advertiser:
Just 17mm of rain has been recorded in Adelaide at West Terrace, which is about one quarter of the average (66.3mm) for July.
With little more rainfall on the horizon, climatologist Dr Naomi Benger says this month will likely be among the lowest on record.
“Only three other years have recorded less: 1924 (16.2mm); 1884 (13.0mm); and 1899 (10.1mm),” she said.
