!,404 mm. for 2021 (average is 1200} 197mm for Dec. (average is 130 )
We are 60kms in a direct line from the sea , and due west of Mourilyan,near Innisfail. Innisfail's average is 3.550 mm. We are at 915 metres (about 3,000 feet) altitude,
you can start to seee the range of microclimates there are in a relatively short distance. About 5 kms due east of us the rainforest starts,and it was once all
rainforest from there to the sea. We live in a block of tall wet sclerophyll forest (sclerophyll means 'hard leaves') and the forest trees are almost all myrtaceous
species ( Eucalyptus, Angophora, Lophostemon)(plus Allocasuarina ) . Sorry,back to the climate. To giive you an idea of the range of microclimates here,just 4kms east of us the winter -spring rainfall is too high to grow mangos succesfully,yet we have plenty of mangos every year,with no spraying.
One intersting climate-related fact : Two days ago,we had a wet,cloudy day. (95mm ). The minimum temperature was 18 C, the maximum was 21 C.
That's in the middle of summer here. Then I read that somewhere in Alaska on that day, in the middle of winter there,had a record maximum of 19.4 C.
