Geelong is experiencing below-average rainfall at 54% of the long-term average (20.3mm vs 37.4mm), though soil moisture remains adequate at 16.4%, slightly above the Victorian state average of 15.1%. The drier conditions pose moderate stress for wool and beef operations, particularly with pasture growth potentially constrained, while wine grape producers may benefit from reduced disease pressure during the growing season. The sub-region's composite score of 41 trails Victoria's state average of 54, reflecting these challenging seasonal conditions and their impact on the dominant agricultural enterprises.
