Interesting that the discussion is all about forecasts now, I wonder why?
BTW farmers of delicate crops like grapes, coffee and so on need predictable weather - well guess what is happening with climate change? LESS PREDICTABLE WEATHER
Given that a lot of the Hunter and Adelaide Hills wineries have lost their grape crops through smoke taint, found this quote from a vinyardist (?) interesting....
“You need to pull the camera back further than the bushfires themselves and the way they are influenced by climate change to look at the broader picture of grape growing in general,” he says. “Grape growing has been showing the fingerprints of climate change since the 1980s when the harvesting dates began to move forward."
All the signs are there if you want to look for them.
