| Abstract: | Summary ?Weather station data indicate that large-scale irrigation of an arid region in southeastern Australia decreased the annual
range of monthly-mean temperatures by 1–2 K. Such decrease is consistent with an observed increase in dewpoint, by about 1 K.
Urbanisation may reduce the annual range but generally increases it.
