Queensland Government Climate Monitor

The Queensland Governments Drought and Climate Adaptation Program (DCAP) is helping the horticulture and agriculture industries across Queensland through research, development and extension activities. DCAP aims to help producers better manage drought and climate impacts.

Climate Monitor allows the user to analyse and graph minimum and maximum temperature and rainfall for all available years, calculate thermal time (chill and heat units) and be able to retrieve, analyse and graph temperature thresholds (for a chosen location).

This unique analysis tool will allow horticultural business managers to refine and improve their business decisions around crop choice, variety, planting dates and location, and to maximise their chance of harvesting a high-quality crop, by identifying their optimum crop growth time slots.
