Monthly Weather Review October 2008 Monthly Weather Review Western Australia October 2008

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 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.

Also, eight houses in southern Interior cleared east in the early morning, east Kambalda, in the Goldfields, lost their roofs and and showers were reported in the Lower Southwest many more were damaged. Kalgoorlie-Boulder in an onshore flow. A cold front moved through the Airport recorded a wind gust of 87 km/h at 1645 SWLD on the 4th and cleared eastward out of the WST and 7.6 mm during a thunderstorm (5.8 mm in Southeast Coastal and Eucla on the 5th. The front the 10 minutes to 1721 WST). brought showers and thunderstorms, mainly to the southern half of the SWLD and western Eucla. In the 28th: A deep surface low combined with a middle north, a developing heat trough caused afternoon level trough to produce severe thunderstorms across showers and thunderstorms in the north and east parts of the SWLD. A strong easterly gradient Kimberley on the 4th and 5th. between the surface low and a ridge to the south resulted in strong to gale force easterly winds along A strong high dominated weather in southern WA the south coast. Cape Leeuwin recorded a wind gust from the 6th to the 8th with mostly fine conditions of 102 km/h at 1203 WDT and Hopetoun North apart from isolated showers in south coast districts. recorded 96 km/h at 0919 WDT. The Hopetoun hotel Showers and storms occurred in the Kimberley and veranda was torn off by the extreme winds whilst northern Interior on the 6th, extended into the many trees were uprooted and power poles were Pilbara on the 7th, and persisted in these regions on knocked down in the area, with thousands of homes the 8th as a middle level cloud band developed over losing power as a result. Flash flooding in York the northern half of WA. A weak front brushed the caused road and fence damage and one dam burst southwest corner of the state on the 9th bringing its banks. A stormspotter in Karragullen reported isolated showers to the Southwest and South Coastal 1cm hail with 20 mm of rain in 10 minutes at around districts, whilst showers and storms persisted in the 1730 WDT. Localised hail damage occurred to fruit Pilbara and adjacent parts of neighbouring districts, crops and large hail was reported near Williams in with some unseasonally large falls exceeding the Great Southern district. The highest rainfall previous October records. The showers and storms reported in the 24hrs to 9am on the 29th was 68 mm cleared on the 10th and mostly fine conditions were at Ygnattering (north of Cunderdin), followed by reported across the remainder of WA as a trough Frenchman Bay (near Albany) and Newdegate extended from the Kimberley through the Pilbara Research Station with 43 mm. and southward along the west coast. A cold front moved into the SWLD on the 11th bringing cloud to much of the southern half of the state, but rainfall was mainly confined to SWLD south coast and adjacent districts. The front cleared southern parts in the morning on the 12th, and a strong ridge extended over southern WA as showers persisted near the SWLD south coast, whilst mostly fine conditions continued in the north. On the 13th, a trough developed along the west coast, and remained near the coast on the 14th, before moving slowly eastwards on the 15th, as a low developed in the trough over the SWLD. As a result, WA was mostly fine on the 13th, but cloud and isolated showers developed over the Pilbara and Gascoyne on the 14th, and extended southward in the vicinity of the trough on the 15th over the SWLD and Goldfields, with some isolated thunderstorms reported. Storms also occurred in the Kimberley on the 15th.

The trough continued to move slowly eastward middle level trough contracted to the southeast on through central then eastern parts of WA on the the 31st and showers and thunderstorms were 16th and 17th, with isolated showers and mainly confined to the Pilbara, Interior, Goldfields thunderstorms over most parts of the state, except and Eucla. for west coast regions, whilst some showers were reported near the SWLD south coast west of the trough. The trough contracted into SA on the 18th as a high pressure system moved south of WA and showers and storms became confined to the Kimberley, Interior, Pilbara, east Gascoyne, and northern Goldfields. Another trough developed along the west coast on the 19th as the high moved south of the Bight. Showers and thunderstorms were reported in the Kimberley, northern Interior, Pilbara, Gascoyne and Central West with relatively hot northeasterly winds becoming established over much of the state. The high moved very slowly eastward from the 20th to 23rd over southeast Australia and this resulted in an unseasonal hot spell near the WA west coast. Showers and thunderstorms occurred in most WA districts on the 20th and 21st in the hot unstable airmass, but became mostly confined to the SWLD and adjacent parts of neighbouring districts on the 22nd and 23rd, although some isolated storms occurred in the Kimberley. A cold front approached the WA west coast late on the 23rd and moved through the SWLD and southern Gascoyne on the 24th, and into the eastern SWLD and Goldfields late in the day, before propagating through the Eucla on the 25th. The front brought widespread showers and thunderstorms to these regions, whilst the remainder of the state saw fine weather. In the wake of the front, a ridge of high pressure moved over the south of the state on the 26th, with fine weather returning to most of WA apart from isolated showers confined mainly to the south coast. A broad low pressure trough developed over WA on the 27th, and isolated afternoon and evening showers and storms were a result in the western Goldfields and neighbouring areas, as well as the Kimberley and northern Interior. An approaching middle level trough interacted with the surface low over the southern half of WA on the 28th and brought widespread showers and thunderstorms to southern and eastern parts of the state. Severe thunderstorms were reported across parts of the SWLD with flash flooding and damage to buildings. A strong easterly gradient between the low and a ridge to the south produced strong to gale force easterly winds along the south coast. The low pressure system moved into the Bight on the 29th as the thunderstorms cleared, but showers persisted in the SWLD and neighbouring districts. Isolated thunderstorms occurred in the Kimberley. Widespread showers and storms redeveloped over the SWLD, southern Goldfields and western Eucla on the 30th as another middle level trough moved over the region. Isolated showers and thunderstorms occurred in the northern Interior and Kimberley. The

Maximum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily maximum temperature in October 2008 Mean daytime temperatures for October were above to very much above average across most of WA, with parts of the eastern Interior up to 4 °C above the mean maximum. Averaged across the state, the mean maximum temperature for October 2008 was 1.42 °C above the long-term average, and in the above average range. Several sites near the WA west coast, including Perth, experienced an unusual run of abnormally high temperatures for October as a slow moving high in the Bight caused persistent northeasterly winds between the 18th and 23rd. Perth recorded five consecutive days over 30 °C, easily surpassing its previous greatest October spell of three. Cape Leeuwin broke its highest daily maximum temperature for October when it reached 31.8 °C on the 20th. As the warm air near the west coast was eventually forced eastward ahead of a front, very hot daily maximum temperatures were recorded in the Eucla and southern Interior on the 24th, with the Decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature Eucla station reaching a top of 42.9 °C, breaking its in October 2008 previous October record.

The hottest day was 44.7 °C at Eyre on the 24th, followed by 43.7 °C at Fitzroy Crossing Aero on the 13th. The warmest days on average were 41.0 °C at Fitzroy Crossing Aero, followed by 40.6 °C at Curtin Aero. The coolest day was 12.7 °C at Shannon on the 4th, followed by 12.9 °C at Rocky Gully on the 4th. The coolest days on average were 18.4 °C at Albany, followed by 18.6 °C at Albany Airport, North Walpole and Shannon.

There could be discrepancies between the values shown on these maps and those at individual locations, as a result of the way the maps are generated.

Minimum temperatures Anomalies of mean daily minimum temperature in October 2008 With the exception of the eastern Kimberley, the remainder of the state experienced above to very much above average daily minimum temperatures, with the east Pilbara and northwest Interior up to 5 °C above the long-term mean for October. The month began, however, with cooler than normal overnight temperatures, particularly in the southeast, where Eucla broke its October daily minimum temperature record when it recorded 1.5 °C on the 4th. By the middle of the month, most of the state was experiencing higher than normal overnight temperatures with cloudy nights and hot northerly winds to blame. The unusually warm spell later in the month also produced some record high minimum temperatures. Averaged across the state, the mean minimum temperature was 1.44 °C above average, and in the very much above average range. The coldest night was -3.5 °C at Eyre on the 4th, followed by -0.5 °C at Newdegate Research Station on the 3rd. Decile rank of mean daily minimum temperature in October 2008 The coolest nights on average were 7.1 °C at Wandering, followed by 7.7 °C at Bridgetown. The warmest nights on average were 27.0 °C at Troughton Island, with Argyle Aerodrome recording 25.6 °C on the WA mainland. The warmest night was 30.1 °C at Halls Creek Airport on the 31st, followed by 29.5 °C at both Warmun on the 23rd and Balgo Hills on the 30th.

Anom is the difference between the mean daily maximum temperature for October 2008 and the long-term average maximum temperature for October. Decile is the decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature for October 2008 in the climate record of other October 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 October 2008 are highlighted.
