Areas of above average totals in the west were quite patchy due to the rainfall coming from the combination of several events that were not widespread, but were up to twice the average in some locations. This month's article provides an analysis of what effect reduced rainfall has had on the irrigation practices of wine growers in South Australia. Rainfall Anomalies.
