Monthly Weather Review South Australia September 2012 Monthly Weather Review South Australia September 2012
The Monthly Weather Review - South Australia is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's South Australia Climate Services Centre. It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in South 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. Major discrepancies will be noted in later issues. We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to the needs of its readers. If you have any comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us: By mail South Australia Climate Services Centre Bureau of Meteorology PO Box 421 Kent Town SA 5071 AUSTRALIA By telephone (08) 8366 2600 By email [email protected] You may also wish to visit the Bureau's home page, http://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 South 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 all available years of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 20 years of record, as they cannot then be calculated reliably. Climatological extremes are generally taken from available observations from all available years of record. The number of years can vary substantially from site to site.

A deep low to the south of the state generated strong to gale force northwest to westerly winds across the southern half of the State, particularly with squally showers and isolated thunderstorms. Winds from this system were much more widespread than the previous event. Numerous reports of wind gusts in excess of 90 km/h and gale force winds averaging 60−75 km/h were experienced across southern parts of the state. The worst affected areas were the Lower Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Island districts during the early afternoon, and the Lower South East in the later part of the afternoon. Damage reports were mostly of fallen trees and storm damage to roofs. Some of the notable winds gusts recorded include 96 km/h at Port Lincoln, 100 km/h at Mount Crawford, 102 km/h at Naracoorte, and the highest gust recorded was 104 km/h at Cape Jaffa. Average wind speeds reaching gale force were also recorded at Hindmarsh Island, Edinburgh, Cape Jaffa and Naracoorte. 6−7 September 2012
Yet another cold front extending from a low in the southern ocean moved eastwards across southern parts of the State. The front crossed Kangaroo Island and Adelaide during the early afternoon, and Mount Gambier later in the afternoon. Damaging wind gusts were recorded, predominately with squally showers and isolated thunderstorms associated with the front. There were a significant number of trees reported down around Mount Barker from the event. Notable wind gusts include 104 km/h at Edithburgh and 95 km/h at Cape Borda. 28 September 2012

Synoptic summary September started with a high pressure system positioned to the east of South Australia. Light winds kept the State mostly cloud free, though patches of morning fog formed about coastal districts through to the 3rd. A series of cold frontal systems, associated with deep low pressure system to the south of the State, produced isolated showers, thunderstorms and strong squally winds for southern districts which continued through to the 7th; wind gusts in excess of 100 km/h were recorded at several coastal locations with well below average temperatures being reported across much of the State. Conditions began to clear by the 8th as a large high pressure system located to the south of the State tracked eastwards resulting in fine conditions for most districts through to the 11th. A cold front and associated rainband moved across southern parts of the State on the 12th. Patchy rain was observed as the front contracted to the northeast, through the Flinders Ranges and to the south of the Northeast Pastoral, the system cleared the eastern border of South Australia by the 13th. A ridge of high pressure extended over the State on the 15th producing early morning fog and frost patches for the agricultural areas. Isolated shower activity was observed about southern coastal areas through to the 17th while generally stable conditions were observed across the rest of the State. A rainband moved over western districts on the 18th producing isolated light rainfall as it continued over central and eastern districts on 19th. A trough of low pressure produced thunderstorm activity in the Northeast on the 20th. On the 22nd, a cold frontal system moved across western parts of the State. Fresh and gusty northerly winds ahead of the front kept maximum and minimum temperatures above average throughout the State. Apart from very light scattered Showers across coastal areas, conditions remained fine up until the 28th when a large cloud band and trough of low pressure produced showers and isolated thunderstorms across much of the State. The trough contracted to the North East Pastoral district as scattered squally showers developed about southern agricultural areas in the wake of a vigorous cold front which cleared the State by the 29th.

Maximum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily maximum temperature in September 2012 Mean maximum temperatures over South Australia were above average across the entire State this September and the highest since September 2007. Several locations across northern parts of the agricultural districts and into the pastoral districts were in excess of 2.0 °C above the long term September average. Southern parts of the Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas, central districts and the Murray Valley observed daytime temperature average in excess of 1.0 °C above normal, elsewhere maximum temperatures were within 1.0 °C above average. The warmest period for much of the state occurred on the 27th in the northerly air stream ahead of the strong cold front. Much of the State observed maximum temperatures well above average with several locations observing a record highest September maximums since observations began. The Decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature warmest day for any location was recorded was at in September 2012 Cooper Pedy Airport, reaching 39.4 °C on the 27th, the warmest September day at this location since records began in 1996.
Earlier in the month, on the 7th, a strong cold front brought daytime temperatures to well below average for many locations around the State; Mount Lofty recorded the coldest for any location when its maximum temperature reached just 8.3 °C. Average daily maximum temperatures ranged from 13.7 °C at Mount Lofty to 28.5 °C at Moomba Airport in the Northeast district, resulting the warmest September at this site since 2003.

Minimum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily minimum temperature in September 2012 Mean minimum temperatures over South Australia were slightly above average across the entire State as a whole this September. The coolest parts of the State, with respect to overnight temperatures, was through the Central and into Pastoral districts where minimum temperatures tended below 1 °C cooler than normal. Night time temperatures tended above normal across the western half of the State. The warmest nights for many locations occurred between the 26th and 28th in the warm north-westerly air-stream ahead of an approaching cold frontal system. Arkaroola reported the warmest night for any location on the 27th with a minimum of 24.6 °C, while Hawker observed a record warmest September overnight minimum with 23.5 °C. In 39 years of observations, the previous warmest September night at Hawker occurred on September Decile rank of mean daily minimum temperature in 12, 2009 when 22.9 °C was observed.

Rainfall In 2012, across the State as a whole, South Australia Totals were in the range of 20 to 30 mm for most received less than a quarter of the long term average locations, but tending to higher totals of between 40 September rainfall. Apart from far northern parts of to 60 mm across the Mount Lofty Ranges and the the State where rainfall was average, most locations southeast districts of the State. Despite this, several received below average rainfall throughout the locations across the Mount Lofty Ranges observed month, with large parts observing very much below record lowest September rainfall total. The wettest average rainfall. The wettest period for much of the overall for the month in the agricultural districts was State occurred between the 5th and 7th as a deep Kuitpo Forest Reserve in the southern parts of the low pressure system that tracked eastwards across Mount Lofty Ranges with 85.4 mm. ocean waters produced squally showers and isolated thunderstorms across southern parts of South Total rainfall in September 2012 Australia. The wettest single day for any loaction around the State was at Piccadilly (Woodhouse), in the Mount Lofty Ramges, with 32.0 mm on the 7th. The passage of cold frontal system on the 13th brought rainfall totals of between 1 to 5 mm for southern parts of the State. Despite this, most of South Australia remained relatively dry up until the 28th when a large cloud band and trough of low pressure produced showers and isolated thunderstorms across southern and eastern districts. Pastoral Districts Rainfall totals over the pastoral districts were mostly below average tending to very much below average across southern parts of the pastorals. Rainfall totals were typically between 1 and 5 mm, though Woomera Aerodrome reported no rainfall for the Decile rank of total rainfall in September 2012 month, making September 2012 the second driest September in 64 years of observations. Several other locations across the Northwest and Far North recording no rainfall for September 2012, though not unusual for this time of year across northern parts of South Australia. The wettest period for the pastoral districts was on September 28 and 29 as a cloud band and trough of low pressure which produced showers and isolated thunderstorms contracted to the northeast of the State. The wettest overall throughout the pastorals was at Gluepot Reserve in the Northeast district with 8.2 mm for the month. Several loactions reported no rainfall through the month, these include: Blinman (Moolooloo), Blinman (Wirrealpa), Bon Bon, Cockburn (Tepco), Coober 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 Pedy, Coober Pedy (McDouall Peak), Innamincka generated.

Agricultural Districts Below average rainfall was observed across the agricultural districts with very much below average through the western agricultural, the upper north, parts of the Murray Valley and the southeast districts. Nundroo in the Western Agricultural district received no rainfall throughout the month.

Daily and total rainfall for September 2012 Total is the total precipitation for September 2012; a missing total indicates there is concern about the quality of some of the daily values. Avg is the long-term average total precipitation for September. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for September 2012 in the climate record of other September totals; “L” indicates this is the lowest on record, and “H” it is the highest on record. Long-term average and decile rank are only shown if there are sufficient years of climate record available. Reports of zero precipitation are shown as “· ”. When a reading was accumulated over more than one day, “»” is shown on the days that are part of the accumulation.
