It is important for farmers to be aware of these changes in weather patterns to ensure the safety of crops and minimise potential damage.
The department highlighted that while the forecast predicts varying rainfall across different regions, the likelihood of thunderstorms may require farmers to take precautionary measures, particularly for the protection of standing crops.
This weather pattern, coupled with the potential for strong winds and rain, could impact ongoing farming operations in these regions.
As such, farmers are encouraged to stay updated on the daily weather forecasts and take necessary steps to safeguard their produce.
The Agriculture Department will continue to provide advisories and updates on the situation to help farmers better navigate these changing weather conditions.
