SA 12 month Rainfall Animation

Previous Page

Please be patient for all 12 images to load..............

The animation below displays the average monthly rainfall rainfall distributions looping through Jan-Dec. South Australia is a dry state with a huge percentage receiving very little rainfall. Most of the agricultural areas experience a Mediterranean climate of hot dry summers and cooler wetter winters. The spread north of the rains over autumn/winter/spring is strongest from May to October. February is the driest month for most areas. The effect of the rain shadow on the mallee regions from the Mt Lofty Ranges is also clearly visible. See below for some animation instructions

You can control the animation speed, looping direction:(forward, forward-reverse) or advance frame by frame.

The Navigator displays distance and direction from Adelaide and can be set to zero from any point on the map.
