Recent rainfall, drought and southern Australia's long-term rainfall decline

This article describes recent rainfall patterns in the context of the Millennium Drought, record high rainfall of the 2010 to 2012 La Niña years, and longer-term drying trends.

The past three years have seen the return of widespread rainfall deficiencies across southern and eastern Australia (Figure 1).

Below-average rainfall across large parts of Australia since the end of the 2010 and 2011 La Niña events, and the failure of the northern wet season in much of inland Queensland over the past three years, have contributed to these deficiencies (see the latest issue of the Bureau's Drought Statement for more information).

These deficiencies re-emerge against a background of significant longer-term rainfall decline over southern Australia which has now persisted for decades.

The southwest of Western Australia has experienced a 10 to 20 per cent drop in winter rainfall since around 1970—that has been expressed as a step-change or series of step-changes, rather than a gradual decline.

This period also includes an absence of high rainfall years that were common prior to that period. The southeast of the continent has experienced a similar decline in late autumn and early winter rainfall since around the mid-1990s (see the State of the Climate 2014 for more information). These rainfall changes have been accompanied by much larger reductions in streamflow, particularly in the southwest.

Yeah. I read this stuff all the time from BOM. Its verging on being fraudulent? How any reputable organisation like that can use rainfall figures from 1970's to today and pretend there is no record before that is simply disgraceful?
