Woweee it's all happening in Australia at the moment, to summarise Karl it's "Wet, Wet and Wet"....
There's potential for once in a generation flooding for Northern Victoria, a wet summer ahead, struggle to get the headers on paddocks, early cyclone season - similar to the 1970s and an outlook at when it may ease and potential for drier times ahead into 2023.
I'm joined by Karl to cover:
- Early onset of rainfall in Northern Australia (which is not good news)
- Major low system over southern Australia in the next week
- We talk about the rainfall in the short and medium term
- Will we get the crops off?
- What's the rest of 2022 looking like?
- Are we saying goodbye to La Nina?
For more of Karl's weather head to Weather Matters with Karl Lijnders.
