ONGOING warm and dry conditions have forced the region's cropping farmers to make decisions early, with an above average forecast expected for today.
It is expected to reach 31 degrees, coupled with north to northeasterly winds 25 to 35 kilometres per hour before turning southeasterly 15 to 20km/h in the late evening.
Yet, the sudden rise in temperature is not expected to last long, dropping to 19 degrees tomorrow with a 50 per cent chance of light showers.
