Monthly average rainfall

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

A series of grid surfaces delineating average rainfall (mm) calculated for individual months for land areas across Tasmania at a spatial resolution of 80m. Thirty-six datasets are available for this parameter representing recent climate to:

2018 (ra_avg_jan, ra_avg_feb, ra_avg_mar, ra_avg_apr, ra_avg_may, ra_avg_jun, ra_avg_jul, ra_avg_aug, ra_avg_sep, ra_avg_oct, ra_avg_nov, ra_avg_dec)

and projected climate - based on Climate Futures for Tasmania (CFT) modelling at:

2030 (ra_avg_jan_2030, ra_avg_feb_2030, ra_avg_mar_2030, ra_avg_apr_2030, ra_avg_may_2030, ra_avg_jun_2030, ra_avg_jul_2030, ra_avg_aug_2030, ra_avg_sep_2030, ra_avg_oct_2030, ra_avg_nov_2030, ra_avg_dec_2030);

2050 (ra_avg_jan_2050, ra_avg_feb_2050, ra_avg_mar_2050, ra_avg_apr_2050, ra_avg_may_2050, ra_avg_jun_2050, ra_avg_jul_2050, ra_avg_aug_2050, ra_avg_sep_2050, ra_avg_oct_2050, ra_avg_nov_2050, ra_avg_dec_2050).
