Monthly Weather Review Victoria September 2010 Monthly Weather Review Victoria September 2010
The Monthly Weather Review - Victoria is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Victoria Climate Services Centre. It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Victoria 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 Victoria Climate Services Centre Bureau of Meteorology PO Box 1636 Melbourne VIC 3001 AUSTRALIA By telephone (03) 9669 4956 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 Victoria 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 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.

Synoptic summary September started with a trough extending from the northwest corner of the state through to West Gippsland. Behind the trough was a cold front that delivered rainfall to most districts on the 1st and 2nd. A high pressure system moved across Bass Straight on the 3rd, clearing away most of the rain before a deep low pressure system passed to the south of the state in the following days. Widsepread rainfall associated with the low pressure system contributed more than 50 mm to some parts of the state on the 4th and 5th. This rainfall went on to produce significant flooding in the north of the state and was the largest rainfall event for the month. A high pressure system centred over the state on the 7th made way for another cold front that came in from the west on the 9th. Rainfall associated with the front was recorded in most districts on the 10th. The next few days were dominated by a high pressure system before another low pressure system tracked eastward across the north of the state on the 14th. Rainfall associated with the low pressure system was focused over the North Mallee District. Trailing behind the low pressure system, a cold front swept across southern parts of the state on the 15th but delivered less than 10 mm to most parts. Over the following days the synoptic pattern over Victoria did not change much. A strong high pressure system in the Southern Ocean remained almost stationary for three days before it began to slowly move east into the Great Australian Bight. This set up a south-westerly wind pattern across most of the state until the 21st, with rainfall confined to the coastal districts excluding East Gippsland. Moving eastward, the high pressure system began to weaken and a new series of cold fronts, associated with low pressure systems in the Southern Ocean, crossed the state on the 25th and 27th. A trough skimmed across the bottom of the state on the 28th and the south-westerly winds helped deliver widespread rainfall to southern and central parts of the state. Another high pressure system moved into the Great Australian Bight on the 29th before tracking eastwards to finish the month over the top of Victoria.

page 20 Monthly Weather Review Victoria September 2010
Daily and total rainfall for September 2010 Total is the total precipitation for September 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 September. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for September 2010 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.
