Monthly Weather Review Victoria December 2011 Monthly Weather Review Victoria December 2011
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. Mean temperatures are the average of the daily maximum and daily minimum temperatures. 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.

The stationary pattern allowed for a number of days of warm, moist northerly airflow across the State which lead to high moisture levels through a deep layer creating unstable conditions.

Daily and mean maximum temperatures for December 2011 Mean is the average of the daily maximum temperature for December 2011; it is only shown if there are sufficient days available. Anom is the difference between the mean daily maximum temperature for December 2011 and the long-term average maximum temperature for December. Decile is the decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature for December 2011 in the climate record of other December mean daily maximum temperatures; “L” indicates this is the lowest on record, and “H” it is the highest on record. Anomalies and deciles are only shown if there are sufficient years of climate record available. The lowest and highest maximum temperatures for each site for December 2011 are highlighted.

Daily and total rainfall for December 2011 Total is the total precipitation for December 2011; 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 December. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for December 2011 in the climate record of other December 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.
