Monthly Weather Review Western Australia January 2009 Monthly Weather Review Western Australia January 2009
The Monthly Weather Review - Western Australia is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Western Australia Climate Services Centre. It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Western 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 Western Australia Climate Services Centre Bureau of Meteorology PO Box 1370 WEST PERTH WA 6872 AUSTRALIA By telephone (08) 9263 2222 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 Western 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 30 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.

Maximum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily maximum temperature in January 2009 Mean maximum temperatures were above to very much above average across most of WA in January 2009, with the exception of most of the Kimberley, and small parts of the coastal Pilbara, Gascoyne Central West, and south coast districts. Mean daily temperatures were up to 4 °C warmer than normal in parts of the Gascoyne and Central Wheat Belt, whilst parts of the northeast Kimberley were up to 3 °C below normal. Averaged across the state, the mean maximum temperature was above average. Several sites in the western part of the state, including Perth, experienced a hot spell during the first half of January 2009 as a persistent heat trough and stagnant hot airmass dominated most of the state. The hot spell was ended by a cold front on the 13th in southwest parts, however inland parts of the Pilbara and Gascoyne, northeast parts of the SWLD, and the Interior remained hot for most of the month. Emu Creek Station in the southwest Pilbara and Gascoyne Junction in the northern Gascoyne broke Decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature highest January daily maximum temperatures on in January 2009 record, while some sites in the Central Wheat Belt and Great Southern broke mean monthly maximum temperature records. Emu Creek station broke both its highest and lowest daily maximum temperatures for the month of January when it recorded 49.0 °C on the 10th, and 26.2 °C on the 27th when ex-TC Dominic cooled the area.
The hottest day was 49.0 °C at Emu Creek Station on the 10th, followed by 48.6 °C at Gascoyne Junction on the 11th. The warmest days on average were 43.3 °C at Gascoyne Junction, followed by 43.1 °C at Emu Creek Station. The coolest day was 18.0 °C at Ravensthorpe on the 19th, followed by 18.0 °C at Katanning on the 29th.

Minimum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily minimum temperature in January 2009 Averaged over the state, the January 2009 minimum temperature for WA was 0.9 °C above the long-term mean, and the 2nd hottest January for WA in terms of mean minimum temperature since records commenced in 1950. The hottest January on record was in 2008, which was 1.2 °C above the statewide average of 21.8 °C. Most of WA saw above to very much above average mean minimum temperatures, with up to 4 °C warmer than normal mean minima in the Gascoyne district, and some mean minimum records were equalled or exceeded in the north Gascoyne and southwest Pilbara. The coldest night was 3.3 °C at Eyre on the 21st, followed by 6.0 °C at Jarrahwood on the 13th. The coolest nights on average were 13.2 °C at Jarrahwood, followed by 13.3 °C at both Rocky Gully and Shannon.

Rainfall
Averaged across WA as a whole, rainfall in January Total rainfall in January 2009 2009 was above average. Rainfall totals were above to very much above average in most of the Kimberley, west Pilbara, inland Gascoyne, Goldfields, Central Wheat Belt, Great Southern and Southeast Coastal districts with record high January daily and monthly totals observed in the west Pilbara and inland Gascoyne. This contrasts with below to very much below average rainfall in small areas of the east Pilbara, southwest Gascoyne, Southwest and South Coastal, as well as parts of the Eucla. Tropical Cyclone Dominic produced heavy rainfall and flooding in the west Pilbara, inland Gascoyne and Goldfields as it crossed the Pilbara coast near Onslow on the 27th before weakening and moving southeast across these regions. Sites in the west Pilbara, Gascoyne, and Southeast Coastal broke their highest daily rainfall records for January during this event. A heavy thunderstorm brought 202.2 mm in two Decile rank of total rainfall in January 2009 hours to Troughton Island in the north Kimberley in the early hours of the 16th, which is more than a 1 in 100 year event. The station recorded 222.4 mm in the 24 hours to 9 am on the 16th.
The wettest overall was 764.4 mm at Kuri Bay, followed by 595.6 mm at Ellendale (Kimberley). The wettest single day 242.8 mm at Thevenard Island on the 27th with Onslow Airport on the WA mainland recording 238.4 mm on the 27th.

Daily and mean maximum temperatures for January 2009 Mean is the average of the daily maximum temperature for January 2009; it is only shown if there are sufficient days available. Anom is the difference between the mean daily maximum temperature for January 2009 and the long-term average maximum temperature for January. Decile is the decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature for January 2009 in the climate record of other January 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 January 2009 are highlighted.

page 18 Monthly Weather Review Western Australia January 2009
Daily and total rainfall for January 2009 Total is the total precipitation for January 2009; 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 January. Decile is the decile rank of total precipitation for January 2009 in the climate record of other January 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.
