Monthly Weather Review January 2013 Monthly Weather Review Northern Territory January 2013

The Monthly Weather Review - Northern Territory is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Northern Territory Climate Services Centre. It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Northern Territory 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 Northern Territory Climate Services Centre Bureau of Meteorology PO Box 40050 Casuarina NT 0811 By telephone (08) 8920 3813 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 Northern Territory 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 10 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.

Overview • Hottest January on record Significant weather • Driest January since 1994 • Longest hottest streak for the An exceptional heat wave in early January An exceptionally extensive and long-lived heat wave January 2013 has made its place in history as the affected large parts of Australia in late December hottest January on record. A record setting heat 2012 and the first weeks of January 2013. Whilst the wave moved through the Alice Springs District. The heat was most extreme and persistent in the central monsoon made only a brief appearance in the north, and southern interior of the continent, most of and the lack of cloud cover and rainfall drove the Australia experienced extreme heat at some stage mean monthly maximum temperature to record during the event. levels. Across the Territory, the January average maximum temperature was the hottest on record. In the southern NT, Alice Springs broke the record for the longest streak of days above 40 °C with 17 days from the 1st to the 17th inclusive (the previous Extremes in January 2013 record streak of 12 days over 40 °C set in 2006). Included in that record hot streak was 11 Hottest day consecutive days, from the 3rd to the 13th inclusive, (Highest daily maximum temperature) where the maximum temperature exceeded 42 °C, 46.7 °C at Walungurru on the 9th also a new record (previous record was 5 days over 46.7 °C at Rabbit Flat on the 25th 42 °C set in 2004). To the south of Alice Springs, Warmest days on average Yulara Aero managed to surpass the 44.0 °C mark 10 (Highest mean daily maximum temperature) days in a row (4th to the 13th inclusive), breaking 42.9 °C at Walungurru their previous record streak of days above 44.0 °C of Coolest days on average 4 days set in 1998. Yulara also experienced 16 (Lowest mean daily maximum temperature) consecutive days above 42 °C from the 2nd to the 31.8 °C at Darwin Harbour 17th inclusive, surpassing the previous record of 11 Coldest day days set in January 2011. (Lowest daily maximum temperature) 25.1 °C at Batchelor Aero on the 18th Hottest January on record for the NT Coldest night The Northern Territory (as well as the entire country) (Lowest daily minimum temperature) had its hottest January on record for mean 13.6 °C at Kulgera on the 30th temperature, reaching 38.9 °C (both night-time and Coolest nights on average daytime temperatures combined) and also its highest (Lowest mean daily minimum temperature) mean maximum temperature on record with 32.0 °C, 21.9 °C at Alice Springs 2.6 °C above the norm. Both existing records for the Warmest nights on average NT were set in 1971. Across the territory, 13 stations (Highest mean daily minimum temperature) recorded their hottest January on record for mean 28.1 °C at Walungurru temperatures. Such records were driven primarily by Warmest night really hot daytime temperatures, in which 12 out of (Highest daily minimum temperature) the 13 stations also recorded their highest mean 32.8 °C at Walungurru on the 22nd maximum temperatures. Gove with a mean Warmest on average overall maximum temperature of 33.6 °C, Tindal with (Highest mean temperature) 36.7 °C and Yulara with 41.3 °C were among the 35.5 °C at Walungurru stations that broke their January record.

Synoptic summary Most of the month was defined by a deep and persistent high pressures system that extended across most of the continent, including the NT. The first week of the month saw a shallow surface trough moving slowly across the NT, while a few locations across the central territory received some rain, rainfall totals were quite small. Throughout the month several high pressure centres moved along the sub-tropical ridge. These slow moving, dry and very stable air masses allowed for high temperatures to persist across the central NT for most of the month. Beginning on the 4th, a monsoon trough formed off Australia's north coast, but it remained offshore due to the high pressure over the continent. Even as tropical cyclone Narelle moved south, from the 9th to the 14th, the high pressure over eastern Australia prevented the monsoon trough from moving over the continent. Beginning on the 15th, a surface based low pressure system formed over central Queensland and began moving to the northwest in the ensuing days. At the middle levels of the atmosphere the monsoon trough began shifting south to meet the surface low. This caused the onset of the North Australian Monsoon on the 17th of January. This came about three weeks later than usual, but still within the standard deviation of the the monsoon timing. By the 19th, two low pressure systems had formed over northeastern Australia within the monsoon trough, one over eastern Australia that would eventually become tropical cyclone Oswald and the other over northwestern Australia that would eventually become tropical cyclone Peta. On the 21st tropical cyclone Oswald formed over the Gulf of Carpentaria and then made landfall on the western shores of the Cape York Peninsula. Over the next week ex-tropical cyclone Oswald moved south along the Queensland coast bringing high winds and flooding rains to the area. In the meantime, on the 23rd, tropical cyclone Peta formed just of the northwest WA coast and tracked to the south west. With these two tropical systems to either side of the Northern Territory for the last week of January, the Top End experienced a lull in monsoon activity (scant rainfall and high temperatures) even under the influence of the monsoon trough.

Maximum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily maximum temperature in January 2013 When averaged across the Northern Territory, the mean daily maximum temperature for January 2013 was 38.87 °C which is 2.52 °C above the long term mean for January, which is 36.35 °C. This was the hottest January on record for the NT. Around the Territory there were several new temperature records set this month. With a maximum temperature of 46.4 °C on the 11th (amidst the heat wave that perdured in the first half of the month), Yulara Aero equaled its hottest January day on record set in 2011. This was 0.6 °C shy of the hottest day ever recorded in Yulara for any given month. Although Alice Springs failed to break the record of the hottest January day set in 1960 with 45.2 °C, it manage to break the January mean maximum temperature record with 40.1 °C. This is 0.1 degrees warmer than the previous record of 40.0 °C set in January 2006. Further north, Tennant Creek hit the 44.2 °C mark on the 25th, making it the hottest January day in 44 years worth of records. The hottest days anywhere in the Territory were at Decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature Walungurru with 46.7 °C on the 9th and Rabbit Flat in January 2013 with 46.7 °C on the 25th, followed by Walungurru with 46.6 °C on the 8th, which was tied by Walungurru with 46.6 °C on the 16th. The next highest daily maximum temperatures in the NT were at Curtin Springs and Yulara Aero with 46.4 °C on the 11th. The warmest days on average were at Walungurru with 42.9 °C, followed by Rabbit Flat with 42.0 °C, and then Yulara Aero with 41.3 °C. The coolest day was at Batchelor Aero with 25.1 °C on the 18th, followed by Borroloola with 28.1 °C on the 17th, and Oenpelli Airport also with 28.1 °C on the 18th, and then Central Arnhem Plateau with 28.2 °C on the 18th. The coolest days on average were at Darwin Harbour with 31.8 °C, followed by McCluer Island with 31.9 °C, and then Croker Island Airport with 32.0 °C.

Minimum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily minimum temperature in January 2013 Night-time temperatures were also hotter than average with a Territory average minimum temperature of 25.0 °C. This is 1.3 °C above the long-term average and the highest mean daily minimum for the NT since 2008. At least nine stations across the Territory managed to register their warmest January nights on record. Particularly warm, was the night preceding Australia Day in which Jabiru, Gove, Tindal, Batchelor and Middle Point recorded their warmest January night on record. Darwin Airport mean nighttime temperature of 25.8 °C was the warmest January since 2002. For Elliot with 24.9 °C and Borroloola with 25.5 °C, it was their warmest January nights since 1991 and 1998 respectively.

Rainfall

The area-average rainfall for the Northern Territory Total rainfall in January 2013 was 66.4 mm, which is just over 55% of the January mean rainfall of 120.1 mm. The lack of monsoonal activity across the Top End and weak fontal systems across the south led to the driest January since 1994. During January, Tennant Creek only managed 11.2 mm of rain making it the driest January since 1985. Across the north, the 2012/2013 wet season continued with very little rainfall. Counting January, Darwin Airport had only received 518.4 mm since the start of the 2012/2013 wet season, making it the 5th driest on record to that point in the season (October to January). This is the driest October to January period for Darwin Airport since the 2006/2007 wet season. Most stations across the Top End remain in the bottom 20% for rainfall this season. Gove Airport has been especially dry with only 169.6 mm, the lowest on record to this point in the season. To the end of January, Jabiru Airport had only 617.2 mm, their 4th driest or record so far. Decile rank of total rainfall in January 2013 The wettest overall for January was Croker Island Airport with 452.8 mm, followed by Point Stuart with 425.0 mm, and then Cape Don with 422.6 mm. The driest overall was East Dam and Wallace Rock Hole, both with 0 mm for the month. The next driest locations in the NT this month were Watarrka with 1.0 mm and then Curtin Springs with 2.0 mm. The wettest single day was at Delamere Weapons Range with 144.6 mm on the 18th, followed by Croker Island Airport with 126.0 mm on the 13th, and then Warruwi with 124.6 mm on the 24th.

page 15 Monthly Weather Review Northern Territory January 2013

Daily and total rainfall for January 2013 Total is the total precipitation for January 2013; 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 January. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for January 2013 in the climate record of other January 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.
