# Weekly Australian Climate, Water and Agricultural Update, 27 February 2025 - DAFF

> The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics weekly update reports low-pressure systems brought rain to northern and eastern Australia in the week to 20 February, while southern cropping regions received little to none. Tropical Cyclone Zelia brought over 400 millimetres to parts of Western Australia. Rainfall was expected to be low over the following eight days, and global grain and oilseed output is likely to decline slightly from earlier forecasts.

## Why it matters

Adequate eastern moisture supports average-to-above-average summer crop yields, which limits supply concerns for feed grains. The slightly lower global production outlook is mildly supportive for grain prices.
