The Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology has officially declared a La Niña weather pattern to continue into Summer 2021 in the tropical region of the Pacific Ocean. La Niña weather pattern will form rain systems that will produce higher than average rainfall across most of Australia, particularly along the east coast.
The current outlook predicts increasing rainfall between now and the end of December 2020 at its peak, then decreasing during January and as the Summer comes to a close. The intensity of the falls predicted is similar to the La Niña event of 2010-2011, but with a shorter duration.
A key predictor of La Niña weather patterns is the decreased sea surface temperature in the tropical Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean temperatures have experienced an increase, resulting in the La Niña pattern being declared. Learn more about the current La Niña rain event at the Bureau of Meteorology website.
Historically, data shows climate change has reduced the winter season rainfall in parts of Australia, meaning less than average annual rainfall throughout the year. You can start reducing your water consumption by installing a steel rainwater tank to increase the sustainability of your home. Steel water tanks create the lowest environmental impact of all water tank fabrication options, including concrete and poly water tanks.
This wetter than average pattern of weather creates an excellent opportunity for you to take advantage of collecting and utilising increased rainfall by installing a rainwater tank at your home, rural property, or business.
If you’ve been considering your rainwater tank options for some time, why not make the most of the coming rain events and start harvesting fresh, potable rainwater for use around your home now.
Our steel water tanks are 100% Australian made to order, meaning you can choose a size and colour that suits your available space and existing colorbond roof, fence or garden bed. We have a simple volume calculator available to help you calculate your water storage capacity.
