Monthly Weather Review South Australia April 2010 Monthly Weather Review South Australia April 2010
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. 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.

On the 7th, an extensive area of cloud across the southern half of the State kept temperatures near average with isolated light showers. In the north, clearer skies and warmer temperatures resulted in isolated showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. An upper level trough and weak surface low brought rain and isolated thunderstorms into the west of the state on the 8th, extending into central and eastern parts by the 9th. Showers continued across the state on the 10th and 11th, associated with a moist southwest to northwest air stream and the passage of a front across the south. These showers contracted to the east on the 12th ahead of a high south of the Great Australian Bight, and cleared the state on the 13th as the high moved slowly east. Fine conditions prevailed on the 14th and 15th as the high continued to move slowly east, apart from isolated light showers about the Lower South East on the 14th. A low pressure trough over Western Australia, accompanied by an upper disturbance produced isolated showers from middle level cloud in the west of the State on the 16th. This cloud and associated showers extended eastwards on the 17th, before contracting to the southeast on the 18th with the low and upper trough stalling near Kangaroo Island. Moisture combined with the slow moving low resulted in isolated showers and thunderstorms over eastern parts of the State on the 19th, 20th and 21st. Isolated thunderstorms were also observed about the western border on the 20th. Conditions were fine throughout on the 22nd ahead of a pre-fontal trough moving across the Great Australian Bight. On the 23rd, this trough and associated cloud band brought isolated showers to southern parts of the State ahead of a front south of the Bight. These showers persisted across northern Agricultural and southern Pastoral areas on the 24th, before contracting to the Lower South East on the 25th as a high ridged in across southern Australia. A front moved into the west of the state on the 26th, with showers extending from the west into central and eastern districts. Showers persisted over the

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

page 21 Monthly Weather Review South Australia April 2010
Daily and total rainfall for April 2010 Total is the total precipitation for April 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 April. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for April 2010 in the climate record of other April 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.
