flag Victoria faces its driest spring on record, triggering drought, fire risks, and water shortages.

flag Victoria is experiencing one of its driest springs on record, with rainfall in the lowest 5-10% since 1900 across southern, western, and central regions, including Gippsland. flag Farmers report severe soil moisture deficits, dried pastures, and feed shortages, leading to livestock reductions and limited hay production. flag Fire authorities warn of an early, high-risk bushfire season, citing dry vegetation and unusual fires in typically safe areas around Melbourne. flag Dams are at about 30% capacity, and while some November rain is possible, December outlooks remain uncertain, prompting calls for early preparedness.
