    George Town Municipality

    Local climate profile George Town Municipality Past and current climate: The George Town municipality has a temperate maritime climate with a moderate temperature range (at Low Head, average daily maximum temperature is 21 °C in February, 12.5 °C in July). Average annual rainfall is less than 800 mm per year with a distinct seasonal cycle. For example, Low Head receives 668 mm per year (27 mm in February and 82 mm in August). Rainfall in the George Town area can come from the regular westerly frontal rain systems that cross Tasmania, however an important fraction of the rainfall comes from episodic systems from the north and east, including cutoff lows. Year-to-year rainfall variability is partly correlated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation in autumn, winter and spring (where El Niño winters are generally drier than average, La Niña winters are generally wetter than average). There is also some correlation with the Indian Ocean Dipole in winter and spring, and with atmospheric blocking especially in summer. Average temperatures have risen in the decades since the 1950s, at a rate similar to the rest of Tasmania (up to 0.15 °C per decade). Daily minimum temperatures have risen slightly more than daily maximum temperatures. There has been a decline in average rainfall and a lack of very wet years in the George Town municipality since the mid 1970s, and this decline has been strongest in autumn. This decline was exacerbated by the ‘big dry’ drought of 1995-2009. Rainfall in the recent period since the end of the drought has been average or above average.
