About this outlook

These maps display forecast chill-hour accumulation from GFS. Refer to the map annotations for the calculation details, units and forecast window. Forecast accumulation is not a measured seasonal chill total.

Use these maps as regional guidance alongside local temperature observations. This page does not assess whether a particular crop or variety has met its chill requirement.

Forecast images may refresh at different times. Check their timestamps before comparing states. Coverage on this page: NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA and TAS.
