SYDNEY—Australia’s east coast will experience dry weather for at least the next three months, the country’s meteorological bureau said on Aug. 30, intensifying a drought that has wilted crops and left farmers struggling to stay in business.
In its latest three-month outlook, the Bureau of Meteorology said there was only a 30 percent chance rainfall would exceed average levels over much of the country’s east coast during spring, which runs from September to November.
