The first five crop districts compared below shows a very drastic decrease in rainfall - NW Plains W ,NW Plains E, NW Slopes N, NW Slopes S and N Tablelands N. NSW has more crop districts compared to other states and it is also the only state which has all its districts impacted.
Maranoa, E Darling Downs and Moreton S Coast are the most impacted crop districts in Queensland (QLD) region. Similar to NSW data above, QLD also has a reduction in rainfall in all its crop districts.
Out of all crop districts, only South Central and South East showed a decrease in rainfall. It would be interesting to study 2019 data when it becomes available to identify if the pattern continues only in those two or if the impact spread to the other districts.
Reduction in rainfall in this state is less compared to the other states, however, Murray and East Central are the two crop districts which had great impact.
This is one region which doesn't have much change to the rainfall data in its crop districts. As you can see, there is no decrease in rainfall and in some places it shows an increase. It's worth studying more about this region data.
Except for Victoria, all states recorded a low rainfall in 2018 compared to 2015. The queensland annual rainfall data plotted from 1900 to 2016 is all inconsistent with a lot of dips after the highs, shown here. It is important for everyone to contribute to do thier part in restoring this balance.
