Farmer’s are pleading for urgent help as a severe drought grips parts of Victoria and Tasmania, leaving dams empty and paddocks barren.
Weatherzone revealed last week that parts of both states, as well as parts of Tasmania, had endured record dry starts to the year.
“Some areas in southern Australia saw their lowest rainfall on record during the first four months of this year,” the weather observer said.
“This included parts of South Australia, south-west Victoria and north-west Tasmania. When averaging rainfall across the entire state, Tasmania also had its driest start to a year on record.”
A map showed that rainfall from January to April in 2025, was in parts of all three states at zero per cent compared to the long-term average recorded from 1961 to 1990.
In other places it was under 20 per cent.
