Monthly Weather Review August 2008 Monthly Weather Review South Australia August 2008

The Monthly Weather Review - South Australia is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's South Australian 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 Australian Regional Office South Australian Climate Services Centre Bureau of Meteorology 25 College Road KENT TOWN SA 5067 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.

Sunday 31 st , showers contracted to the southeast. A cold front affected southeastern South Australia on Tuesday 12 th August. Shower activity was confined to the agricultural area in a moist, onshore airstream. A cloud band transited the interior on the 12 th but conditions remained fine. The middle part of the month was dominated by a slow-moving high pressure centre over the Great Australian Bight. This system eventually drifted northeastwards and weakened across South Australia. Another high centre progressed eastwards to the south of Western Australia and attained a near-extreme maximum value of mean sea level pressure (analysed at 1048hPa) during Thursday 21 st . The retreat of the former high into the southern interior of the State permitted westerly flow to temporarily amplify across the agricultural area in advance of a trough/cold frontal passage late on Wednesday 20 th and during Thursday 21 st August.

Despite the near-extreme value of high pressure on the 21st, the high pressure centre weakened and progressed steadily eastwards across southern Australia.

Daily and mean maximum temperatures for August 2008 Mean is the average of the daily maximum temperature for August 2008; it is only shown if there are sufficient days available. Anom is the difference between the mean daily maximum temperature for August 2008 and the long-term average maximum temperature for August. Decile is the decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature for August 2008 in the climate record of other August mean daily maximum temperatures.

page 17 Monthly Weather Review South Australia August 2008

Daily and total rainfall for August 2008 Total is the total precipitation for August 2008; 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 August. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for August 2008 in the climate record of other August totals. 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 18 Monthly Weather Review South Australia August 2008

Daily and total rainfall for August 2008 Total is the total precipitation for August 2008; 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 August. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for August 2008 in the climate record of other August totals. 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.

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 20 Monthly Weather Review South Australia August 2008

Daily and total rainfall for August 2008 Total is the total precipitation for August 2008; 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 August. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for August 2008 in the climate record of other August totals. 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.
