Now is the Best Time to Purchase a Rainwater Tank

Winters are generally dry in Australia, but this year, it’s going to be a lot drier than the average specially in the southern part of Western Australia. Buying a rainwater tank now would be a great investment, with spring and then summer around the corner it’s a great way to capture what rain we get now for later use.

El Niño to Last throughout Winter

Sustained high pressure is currently playing a huge part in hindering the rain this winter. The Bureau of Meteorology remarked that the high pressure is extraordinary, higher than the medium in South Australia.

The Bureau predicted in late May that there would only be a 20% chance of exceeding the medium rainfall in Western Australia’s cropping belt, which is bad news for farmers.

So far, these forecasts have been accurate in Western Australia and South Australia, as well as Victoria have all been experiencing below average rainfall.

Driest Start to Winter Worries Farmers

Dry weather may be a pleasant way to welcome winter, but for farmers in South Australia, especially grain growers, this is worrisome.

Some growers have observed their crops looking dry, which is unusual for this time of the year. Since March, the lower Eyre Peninsula only accumulated 22 millimetres of rain.

In Victoria, farmers enjoyed a great start to cropping season. But now, they fear that if they don’t receive any more rainfall, they may not be able to be at the top of moisture levels. Brett Hosking, president of the Victorian Farmers Federation affirms this, saying that while their soils are still retaining moisture from the summer and autumn rains, they would need more rain soon.

Looks like the dry season will last for a long while so water storage is crucial. If you don’t already have one, now is the time to buy a rainwater tank from the Perth water tanks specialist, Rainfill Tanks and Curved Roofing Supplies.

Now’s the time to collect that rainwater before it’s too late!
