Climate

Climate conditions are assessed using measurements of rainfall, temperature, evaporation, and other climatic variables from one local weather station installed at the Brigalow Catchment Study and long-term data from 1889 to present obtained from the Queensland Government Scientific Information for Land Owners (SILO) database.
