Monthly Weather Review Queensland December 2010 Monthly Weather Review Queensland December 2010
The Monthly Weather Review - Queensland is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Queensland Climate Services Centre. It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Queensland 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 Queensland Climate Services Centre Bureau of Meteorology GPO Box 413 Brisbane QLD 4001 AUSTRALIA By telephone (07) 3239 8700 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 Queensland 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 9 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.

Maximum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily maximum temperature in December 2010 The mean maximum temperature for Queensland in December 2010 was 32.72 °C, which is 2.41 °C below the long-term 1961−90 average, the 4th lowest in the area averaged dataset beginning in 1950 and the lowest since 2000. The widespread and frequent rain bearing weather systems kept daily maximum temperatures well below average on many days in December. The mean maximum temperature was within a degree of average over much of the northeast tropics and the coastal fringe between Agnes Waters and the northern Sunshine Coast. For the remainder, mean maximum temperatures were well below average, especially through the central and southern interior with a large part more than 4 °C cooler than average. The December maximum temperature decile map depicts lowest on record areas in the Central Highlands and southeast interior districts. This Decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature anomaly pattern is similar for the three-month period in December 2010 October to December 2010 and was a welcome relief from the normally hot periods experienced at that time of year. The hottest day was at Birdsville Airportwith 43.2 °C on the 15th, followed by Julia Creek Airportwith 42.7 °C on the 5th and Birdsville Airportwith 42.6 °C on the 7th. The warmest days on average were at Urandangi with 37.7 °C, followed by Bedourie Police Stationwith 37.6 °C and Birdsville Airportwith 37.5 °C. The three coolest days were at Applethorpe with 16.5 °C on the 19th, followed by 17.5 °C on the 3rd and17.8 °C on the 4th. The coolest days on average were at Applethorpe with 22.6 °C, followed by Stanthorpe Leslie Paradewith 23.3 °C and Toowoomba Airportwith 23.6 °C. 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.

Minimum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily minimum temperature in December 2010 The mean minimum temperature for Queensland in December 2010 was 21.85 °C, which is 0.01 °C below the long-term 1961−90 average, the first below it since 2000. The monthly mean minimum temperatures ranged from 24 to 27 °C along the northern coastline to less than 18 °C over the Darling Downs. Minimum temperatures were 1 to 2 °C higher than normal in the tropics between Cairns and Mackay and parts of the south-east and more than 1 °C lower than normal across south-west Queensland. The coldest night was on the 21st , with 3.7 °C at Applethorpe, followed by 4.5 °C at Stanthorpe Leslie Parade, followed by 6.5 °C at Warwick. The coolest nights on average were at Applethorpe with 14.4 °C, followed by Stanthorpe Leslie Paradewith 15.1 °C and Toowoomba Airportwith Decile rank of mean daily minimum temperature in 16.5 °C. December 2010 The warmest nights on average were at Coconut Island with 26.1 °C, followed by Low Isles Lighthouseand Sweers Island with 25.5 °C, followed by Mornington Islandwith 25.3 °C. The warmest night was at Birdsville Airportwith 29.4 °C on the 31st, followed by Mornington Islandwith 29.0 °C on the 20th and Cloncurry Airportwith 28.9 °C on the 6th.

Rainfall
Area averaged across the state, this month's rainfall Total rainfall in December 2010 of 209.45 mm was the highest on record based on the dataset beginning in 1900 and more than double the long term 1961 to 1990 baseline mean of 82.48 mm. The previous highest December record was 200.1 mm in 1975. Average or greater rainfall was recorded throughout the state, with all eastern and central districts receiving very much above average rainfall and large areas receiving their highest rainfall on record. The continuing rainfall and further heavy falls after the wettest spring on record culminated in one of the biggest flood events to affect the state during the Christmas period. For many towns this would have been one of the biggest weather events in living memory. Rainfall anomalies of 200 mm or greater covered most of the Central Coast and Highlands, Port Curtis and Moreton districts and parts of the southern interior and Carpentaria, with some areas Decile rank of total rainfall in December 2010 experiencing anomalies of more than 500 mm. Some of these areas had received more than twice their December average rainfall. All of the close to average rainfall was recorded in western and far southern interior areas. The northern wet season which runs from October to April has already seen amongst the highest 10% of rainfall on record over almost all of the state and large areas have already exceeded the highest on record. The wettest overall for December was Bellenden Ker Top Station with 1221.2 mm, followed by Mount Charlton with 1200 mm and Mt Jukes with 1114 mm. The driest overall was the southwest corner and Birdsville Airport recorded 2.0 mm.
The wettest single day was on the 25th, with Happy Valley recording 339.0 mm, followed by Deeral with There could be discrepancies between the values shown on these maps 333.0 mm, followed by Babinda Sugar Millwith and those at individual locations, as a result of the way the maps are 325.0 mm. generated.

Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for December 2010 in the climate record of other December 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.

Daily and total rainfall for December 2010 Total is the total precipitation for December 2010; 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 December. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for December 2010 in the climate record of other December 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.

Daily and total rainfall for December 2010 Total is the total precipitation for December 2010; 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 December. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for December 2010 in the climate record of other December 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.

Daily and total rainfall for December 2010 Total is the total precipitation for December 2010; 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 December. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for December 2010 in the climate record of other December 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.
