  • Seasonal Climate Summary for the Southern Hemisphere (Autumn 2018): a Weak La Nin˜A Fades, the Austral Autumn Remains Warmer and Drier
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2020, 70, 328–352 Seasonal Climate Summary https://doi.org/10.1071/ES19039 Seasonal climate summary for the southern hemisphere (autumn 2018): a weak La Nin˜a fades, the austral autumn remains warmer and drier Bernard ChapmanA,B and Katie RosemondA,B ABureau of Meteorology, GPO Box 413, Brisbane, Qld 4001, Australia. BCorresponding authors. Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. This is a summary of the austral autumn 2018 atmospheric circulation patterns and meteorological indices for the southern hemisphere, including an exploration of the season’s rainfall and temperature for the Australian region. The weak La Nin˜a event during summer 2017–18 was in retreat as the southern hemisphere welcomed the austral autumn, and before midseason, it had faded. With the El Nin˜o Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean Dipole in neutral phases, their influence on the climate was weakened. Warmer than average sea surface temperatures dominated much of the subtropical South Pacific Ocean and provided favourable conditions for the formation of a rare subtropical cyclone over the southeast Pacific Ocean in May. The southern hemisphere sea ice extent was slightly below the autumn seasonal average. The southern hemisphere overall during autumn was drier and warmer than the seasonal average. The season brought warmer than average temperatures and average rains to parts of the continents of Africa and South America. Australia recorded its fourth-warmest autumn, partly due to an intense, extensive and persistent heatwave, which occurred during the midseason. An extraordinary and record-breaking rainfall event occurred over Tasmania’s southeast, under the influence of a negative Southern Annular Mode.

    144 ORDINARY MEETING 9 26 SEPTEMBER 2018 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STRATEGIC MONTHLY REPORT John Andrejic | 1/3/37 | #4439510v47 RECOMMENDATION: 1. That Council notes the report. 2. That delegated authority be given to the CEO to approve applications for incoming minor grant rounds capped at $50K per application with subsequent reporting to Council of the application details and results. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The report for this period continues to highlight that Council has performed very well and reflects a commitment from the executive and the staff to deliver on the range of matters outlined in Council’s Corporate Plan and the 2018/19 Budget. REPORT 1CURRENT SIGNIFICANT ISSUES EBA The Single Bargaining Unit (SBU) comprising of management and nine unions have been negotiating in good faith since 13 June 2017. Despite the willingness of all parties to negotiate a new certified agreement, Management and the Unions are yet to reach position whereby an offer (in the form of a new agreement) can go to the staff for a vote. Council has made six (6) wage offers to the SBU. Unions have rejected all offers presented on behalf of their members. Given the refusal of Unions to allow any of Council’s six offers to proceed to a vote of employees, Council resolved on 24 April 2018 to: x Provide employees with an administrative pay increase (to base rates) of 2.25% back paid to 1 July 2017 – this change to base rates and back payment has been paid; and x Provide employees with an administrative pay increase (to base rates) of 2.0% or CPI, whichever is the highest from 1 July 2018 – base rates will change by 2.0% effective 1 July 2018 given CPI was 1.7%.
