MyClimateView: how past and projected climate data can support on-farm decision making

Dry Season Resources

Join us as we dive into how MyClimateView is empowering growers to make informed decisions in the face of a changing climate. In this episode, Stephanie Dickson from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and Jen Riseley from Pomewest share insights on leveraging historical and predicted climate data tailored to specific regions and crop types.

Stephanie walks us through the key features of MyClimateView, highlighting how users can customise thresholds and growing seasons, and utilise historical data to draw meaningful comparisons between the current season and similar past seasons. She emphasises the importance of personalising the platform to maximise its utility in your farming operations.

Jen brings her expertise from the orchard industry, explaining how MyClimateView serves as a vital tool in her work. She discusses how the platform aids in strategic decision-making for long-term planning, such as orchard upgrades and varietal selections. Although it might be a resource you consult annually, Jen explains how MyClimateView can play a crucial role in shaping your farming future.

MyClimateView was developed as part of a Future Drought Fund project called ‘Climate Services for Agriculture’.
