Source of data

The aerodrome site was reestablished in August 2006 after many years of meteorological inactivity. Contact us if you require observations from the Zinifex site. The climatological record from the Zinifex site should be used with care, as there will be differences in some parameters, such as temperature. It is best to consult the climate maps for averages of evaporation and sunsine for this area.
