# Weekly update - 13 May 2021 - DAFF

> Rainfall across parts of western and south-eastern Australia in the week to 12 May benefited early-sown winter crops in New South Wales and Queensland. Northern Victoria and South Australia received little rain, and farmers there are dry sowing. The Bureau outlook shows average winter rainfall odds, and ENSO remains neutral.

## Why it matters

Mixed moisture conditions leave Australian crop prospects uneven, with dry areas needing rain soon. Neutral climate indicators reduce the chance of a major weather shock, so the price effect is limited.
