My Climate View free digital tool offers local climate projections for 22 agricultural commoditiesThe Australian Government is supporting the development of climate-resilience tools for farmers and the agriculture industry. These tools are constantly being updated with new functionality.

My Climate View: The Climate Services for Agriculture tool

In November 2023, My Climate View was updated to include tomato and pork enterprises, with the free tool now offering local climate projections for 22 agricultural commodities.

Formerly known as Climate Services for Agriculture (CSA), the online climate information tool helps farmers understand what the future climate might mean for their location, down to a 5km2 resolution, to inform decision-making and build climate resilience.

It presents agriculturally relevant historical and future climate information in one place so farmers can explore climate trends for specific commodities at a local scale.

Along with the new name and website, other updates to the My Climate View tool include the addition of climate information for avocados, cherries and chickpeas, significant improvements to how users can access and view their local and commodity-specific climate information, and insight into how climate information is calculated.

CSA is a collaboration between CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology and part of the Future Drought Fund’s investment in better climate information for Australia’s agriculture sector.
