Monthly Weather Review Australia December 2013 The Monthly Weather Review - Australia is produced by the Bureau of Meteorology to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Australia for the month. This product replaces the seven State and Territory Monthly Weather Reviews that were produced from January 1965 to June 2013, and are available electronically back to July 2008 at www.bom.gov.au/climate/mwr/ To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until complete quality control procedures have been carried out. Any major discrepancies will be noted in later issues. We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to its readers' needs. If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact us: National Climate Centre Bureau of Meteorology GPO Box 1289 Melbourne VIC 3001 Australia [email protected] www.bom.gov.au

Units of measurement Except where noted, temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C), rainfall in millimetres (mm), and wind speed in kilometres per hour (km/h).

Observation times and periods Each station in Australia makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past 24 hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset. In this publication, the following conventions are used for assigning dates to the observations made: Maximum temperatures are for the 24 hours from 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the afternoon of that day. Minimum temperatures are for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the early morning of that day. Mean temperatures are the average of the daily maximum and daily minimum temperatures. Daily rainfall is for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. This means a significant fraction of the rain may have occurred on the previous calendar day. Monthly rainfall is for the period from 9 am on the last day of the previous month to 9 am on the last day of this month. Maximum daily wind gusts are in the 24 hours from midnight to midnight. Area averages for temperature are calculated using the ACORN-SAT dataset.

Climatological values The climatological averages shown in the text and tables are generally long-term means based on observations from the years 1961–1990. They are not shown for sites with less than 25 years of record in that time, as they cannot then be calculated reliably. Climatological extremes are generally taken from all available years of record; the number of years can vary markedly from site to site.

Records The tables of records are not exhaustive, as they only show sites with at least 30 years of record. This may exclude locations where a new site has been established; this means even some major cities and towns may not be listed.

Maps The temperature and rainfall maps are intended to give an overview of the country. There could be discrepancies between the values shown on these maps and those at individual locations, as a result of the way the maps are generated. A wide range of maps of rainfall, temperature and other variables, covering the whole country and smaller regions can be found at www.bom.gov.au/climate/maps.

Accessing data Tables of daily values for selected sites are included toward the back of the Monthly Weather Review. Data from many more sites and for other times are available from www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/.

6 Monthly Weather Review - Australia - December 2013 Temperatures

December was another warm month for Australia, Decile rank of mean daily maximum with above-average maximum and minimum temperature in December 2013 temperatures recorded across much of the eastern and southern mainland. The national maximum temperature anomaly of +0.77 °C and minimum temperature anomaly of +0.40 °C combined to give a mean temperature anomaly of +0.58 °C. This was the seventeenth consecutive month in which Australia recorded above-average mean temperatures and concluded with a heatwave and record-breaking warmth across parts of the eastern interior (for more information see Special Climate Statement 47 – an intense heatwave in central and eastern Australia).. The month started with very warm temperatures Maximum temperatures across much of Australia associated with a low pressure trough which lingered over Australia until the Maximum temperatures for Queensland, New South 4th, funnelling warm air from northern and central Wales, Victoria and South Australia ranged from parts of Australia. It was particularly warm in the 1.33 °C warmer than average to 1.64 °C warmer than southeast where temperatures were up to twelve average, although none made it into the top ten degrees above average. The low pressure trough warmest Decembers. Maximum temperatures were moved across eastern Australia along with a strong above to very much above average across the cold front to the south extending into New South southern mainland, extending through southern and Wales.

This directed warm northerly winds to Anomalies of mean daily maximum southern parts of South Australia and southeast temperature in December 2013 Western Australia with temperatures more than twelve degrees above average recorded along the border between those two States. The trough passed across Australia, moving off the east coast on the 11th with temperatures more than four degrees above average recorded ahead of the trough in parts of central and eastern Australia followed by cool conditions in its wake. Temperatures returned to near average from the 12th through to the 15th as a high pressure system moved from Western Australia to the Bight. Another low pressure trough developed on the west coast and directed a warm northerly flow over southern Western Australia with most of the southwest and southern coast recording temperatures more than eight degrees above average on the 15th. The low pressure trough, orientated from northwest to

7 Monthly Weather Review - Australia - December 2013 southeast, resulted in temperatures in excess of Decile rank of mean daily minimum twelve degrees above average across the western temperature in December 2013 half of the south coast on 16th and 17th. The warm air moved into the southeast by the 21st, and warm temperatures were recorded across New South Wales and Queensland until the 24th as the trough moved off shore across the eastern states. The final week of December was very warm for most of Australia. The passage of two more low pressure troughs combined with cold fronts and a high pressure system directed warm northerly flow across much of the country. Exceptionally warm temperatures set in from the 29th marking the start to a heatwave which continued into early January across The month started with warm temperatures across much of Australia. The highest temperature for the the interior and South Australia, with cool conditions month was 47.4 °C recorded at Eucla in Western on the east and west coast on the 1st.

This brought warm Minimum temperatures were above average for conditions ahead of the trough, with the warmest western Queensland and adjacent parts of the anomalies in excess of twelve degrees recorded on Northern Territory, southwestern and central South the 3rd, and cool conditions in its wake between the Australia and most of Western Australia south of the 5th and 8th with temperatures dropping to more than Kimberley except for the southwest. Warm conditions eight degrees below average across large parts of were also recorded for some areas in southwestern eastern Australia. New South Wales, southeastern New South Wales, By the 8th warm night-time conditions returned to eastern Victoria and both northwestern and South Australia due to warm northwesterlies ahead of southeastern Tasmania. Cooler-than-average nights a low pressure trough and cold front which moved were recorded along the east coast between across to the northeast. This also resulted in warm northeastern New South Wales and central nights in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland Queensland as well as in small areas in the Kimberley, ahead of the trough as it moved eastward between the north of the Northern Territory and around and the 9th and 11th. The change brought a return to inland of Cairns in northern Queensland. cooler than normal conditions across most of central Anomalies of mean daily minimum and southern Australia with temperatures dropping to more than four degrees below average on the 12th temperature in December 2013 and 13th. A high pressure system moved to the Bight shortly after with most regions in Australia recording temperatures within two degrees of the average. Between the 18th and 21st, a high pressure system southwest of Western Australia intensified extending a ridge south of eastern Australia. This pushed a low pressure trough, which had lingered over the west coast of Western Australia during the preceding week, eastward. As a result, above-average minima were recorded across most of the country ahead of the change with some areas, particularly in the southern half of Australia, recording night-time minima more than twelve degrees above average. The warm conditions contracted to the east by the 23rd, with the trough stalling then redeveloping over inland Queensland and northeastern New South Wales. The trough remained over the region until the

Meanwhile between Other smaller areas of above-average rainfall were the 12th and 14th three low pressure systems also recorded in parts of central Australia and along (positioned over the Gulf of Carpentaria, west of the western half of the New South Wales–Victoria Bowen and over southeast Queensland) triggered border. falls of 10 to 25 mm across most of the Queensland coast and northeastern New South Wales with some Total rainfall in December 2013 localised falls of over 50 mm. A low pressure system over the Kimberley region also triggered falls of similar magnitude there. A low pressure trough over inland New South Wales and Queensland combined with a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea to produce moist northeasterly flow and some light to moderate falls across the Northern Tablelands district in New South Wales and the and Granite Belt district in Queensland on the 17th. The next rain-bearing system was a low pressure trough combined with a cold front south of the mainland which moved from Decile rank of total rainfall in December 2013 Western Australia on the 19th to central and southeast Australia on the 22nd. This directed moist tropical air into central and southeast Australia, triggering light to moderate falls from the Kimberley through parts of central Australia across to the southeast and Tasmania. Little or no rainfall was recorded over most of Australia for the remainder of the month with the exception of the Top End. On the evening of the 28th a tropical low off the northwest coast of Western Australia intensified to tropical cyclone strength and made landfall overnight between the 30th and 31st as On the 1st a high pressure ridge directed moist category 3 tropical cyclone Christine on the Pilbara easterlies over the coast of Queensland and New coast between Whim Creek and Roebourne.
