Monthly Weather Review: Australia, March 2017 Monthly Weather Review Australia March 2017 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. 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: 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. 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/. Copyright © Commonwealth of Australia 2017 This work is copyright.

  • Regional Priorities for 2013 Federal Election
    Regional Priorities for 2013 Federal Election 30 Year Infrastructure Plan for Tropical North Queensland Greater coordination of local, state and federal funding of infrastructure through a more strategic approach will provide the framework for the prioritisation and sequencing of infrastructure, including transportation (roads, rail, air and ports), water and sewerage, energy, telecommunications and social infrastructure. This will help to ensure infrastructure is provided where and when it is needed most, to address a clear and identified need. An analysis of existing infrastructure needs has identified a range of projects across Tropical North Queensland as catalytic regional infrastructure which requires government support, including: Sea Ports Yarrabah Wharf and Cruise Ship terminal project Cairns Wharf/Crane Extension Port of Karumba Archer Point barge landing facility (as part of Archer Point development project) Mourilyan Harbour Roads Hann Highway and associated gulf roads Kuranda Range Road Peninsula Development Road Palmerston Highway/ Mourilyan Access Airports Lockhart River Airport Horn Island Airport Mareeba Airport Expansion Irrigated Agriculture and Water for the Future Gilbert and Flinders Rivers catchments Regional Water Supply assessment and Nullinga Dam Charleston Lake Energy Tully Millstream Hydro-electric project Archer Point Wind Farm (as part of Archer Point development project) Approval support for Mt Emerald and Mt Surprise Projects Waste to Energy viability assessment in sugar towns Resources
