> The Australian Department of Agriculture's weekly update reported low-pressure systems bringing rain to southern and eastern Australia during the week ending 6 October 2021, followed by drier conditions. September temperatures were about 1°C above average, and frosts in Western Australia are expected to hurt winter crop yields there.
