Large swathes of the state \u2013 including the Adelaide Plains, the Fleurieu, Yorke and Eyre peninsulas and upper south-east \u2013 have seen the lowest rainfall on record in the 14 months since February 2024, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.<\/p>\n<p>Outside Adelaide, deep and usually permanent pools and waterways are parched, leaving freshwater fish stranded and dead. Wattles and eucalypts, particularly messmate stringybarks, have been dying throughout the Adelaide Hills, while along coastal dunes and clifftops, shrubs like coast daisy bush and coast beard-heath are suffering. As the city\u2019s climate continued to shift from warm mediterranean to semi-arid due to global heating, a lot of the introduced trees people associated with Adelaide \u2013 like jacarandas, plane trees and oaks \u2013 and some natives, such as grey box, will continue to struggle, he says, with potentially devastating consequences for the animals that rely on them for food and habitat.<\/p>\n<p>As the planet warms in the future, the Mediterranean climate of the state\u2019s south is expected to become drier. Time spent in drought is projected to nearly double across the Hills and Fleurieu, Eyre Peninsula, Kangaroo Island and northern and Yorke landscape regions by 2030, according to the state government.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2025\/apr\/16\/south-australia-historic-dry-weather-parched-waterways-dead-fish-and-trees-ready-to-give-up\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-704\/\">Parched waterways, dead fish and trees ready to give up: historic big dry grips South Australia<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1130,18581,1555],"class_list":["post-139101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fish","tag-south-australia","tag-tree"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139101\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
