Mid North Coast Climate Action

Mid North Coast Climate Action

Across the region, rainfall is projected to increase in autumn and spring by 2030. Winter rainfall is projected to decrease by 2030 across the region. Seasonal shifts in rainfall can impact agricultural productivity as well as natural ecosystems.

The number of cold nights is projected to decrease with climate change. However, dry winter and spring seasons result in more cold nights across the region.

The number of hot days is projected to increase by another three days by 2030 and seven by 2070; with increases most pronounced in spring and summer. Minimum temperatures are projected to increase across the region with the least increase away from the coast.
Prolonged periods of hot days increase the incidence of illness and death amongst vulnerable people and adversely affect ecosystems.
