Monthly Weather ReviewAustraliaJanuary 2016

The Monthly Weather Review - Australia is produced by the Bureau of Meteorology to provide a concise but informativeoverview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Australia for the month.To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Althoughevery effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until completequality control procedures have been carried out. Any major discrepancies will be noted in later issues.We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to its readers' needs. If you have any comments orsuggestions, please contact us:

Units of measurementExcept where noted, temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C), rainfall in millimetres (mm), and wind speed in kilometresper hour (km/h).

Observation times and periodsEach station in Australia makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past24 hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset. In this publication, the followingconventions 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 thatday.Minimum temperatures are for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the early morning of thatday.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 haveoccurred 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 valuesThe climatological averages shown in the text and tables are generally long-term means based on observations from the years1961–1990. They are not shown for sites with less than 25 years of record in that time, as they cannot then be calculatedreliably. Climatological extremes are generally taken from all available years of record; the number of years can vary markedlyfrom site to site.

RecordsThe tables of records are not exhaustive, as they only show sites with at least 30 years of record. This may exclude locationswhere a new site has been established; this means even some major cities and towns may not be listed.

MapsThe temperature and rainfall maps are intended to give an overview of the country. There could be discrepancies between thevalues shown on these maps and those at individual locations, as a result of the way the maps are generated. A wide range ofmaps of rainfall, temperature and other variables, covering the whole country and smaller regions can be found atwww.bom.gov.au/climate/maps.

Accessing dataTables of daily values for selected sites are included toward the back of the Monthly Weather Review. Data from many moresites and for other times are available from www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/.

Overview

• National mean temperature above average• Maximum and minimum temperatures both above

average• Cooler than normal in the far west and central

areas of the country• Rainfall near average for Australia as a whole• Generally drier and warmer than normal in the

north• Wetter than normal across much of southern

Australia

January mean temperatures were warmer thanaverage for Australia as a whole (an anomaly of+0.52 °C), with all States and the Northern Territoryrecording warmer than average mean temperatures.Tasmania recorded its second-warmest January onrecord. The Australian mean daily maximumtemperature was 0.21 °C above average and theAustralian mean daily minimum temperatures was0.83 °C above average.

Both maximum and minimum temperatures werewarmer than average across the northern tropics,extending down most of the Queensland coast,across most of southeast Australia, and for the farwest of southwest of Australia. All of Tasmania alsoreported above average daytime and overnight

monthly mean temperatures. Above averageminimum temperatures were also recorded acrossthe remaining southern areas of Australia, and theinterior regions of Queensland and Western Australia.

Maximum and minimum temperatures were belowaverage for the western Pilbara and a small region ofCentral Australia. A broad region of below averagemaximum temperatures was recorded across most ofthe western part of Western Australia, CentralAustralia and a region across northern New SouthWales and southern Queensland.

For Australia as a whole, January rainfall was about8% below average. However, there was a markedcontrast between the north and the south, with muchof the northern tropics recording below averagerainfall, but rainfall was above average across much ofsouthern Australia. Parts of northern and easternTasmania, far southwest of Western Australia andsmall regions within eastern New South Walesrecorded their highest January rainfall on record. Partsof the Top End and Cape York Peninsula recordedtheir lowest January totals on record.

A Special Climate Statement was issued, discussingexceptional rain in northern and eastern Tasmania atthe end of the month.

Significant weather

Tropical cyclone Stan crosses the northwestcoast, bringing flooding

A tropical low developed into tropical cyclone Stannorth-northwest of Port Hedland in Western Australiaon the 29th. Stan moved southeast towards the eastPilbara coast, intensified into a category two system,and made landfall east of Pardoo in the early morningon the 31st. Stan weakened to a tropical low whilemoving through the east Pilbara and then rapidlymoved through the southeast of Western Australia atthe start of February. Heavy rainfall associated withtropical cyclone Stan was observed in the GascoyneRiver, Fortescue River and De Grey River catchments,and resulted in moderate to major flooding in theupper areas of the De Grey River catchmentsincluding the Oakover River, the Coongan River andthe Nullagine River.

Bushfires continue in Victoria

The Wye River fire in Victoria, which devastated thetowns of Wye River and Separation Creek on 25December 2015, continued into the first half ofJanuary and burnt 2500 ha of land in the OtwayRanges on the 12th. A separate small fire atEdgecombe in central Victoria destroyed one houseand 100 ha of grass on the 19th

Large bushfire in Western Australia

Lightning ignited a bushfire in early January whichaffected the Waroona area in southwest WesternAustralia and resulted in more than 69 000 hectares ofland burnt and over 180 properties lost (mostly inYarloop).

Extensive bushifres in western Tasmania

A trough and cold front crossed Tasmania late on the13th and into the 14th. Hot and strong northerlywinds ahead of the front were followed bythunderstorms across the State. Following lightningstrikes onto unusually dry vegetation in the northwestthird of the State, at least 45 fires started. There werefurther lightning strikes and fires started in thenorthwest on the 28th, and as many as 80 fires werereported burning at one time. The largest of the fires(some of which resulted from merging of smallerfires) were in the Lake Mackenzie area; south ofLorinna; east of Balfour and north toward Mawbanna;south of Arthur River; and near Mount Cullen in thesouthwest. Smoke from the fires affected cities andtowns across Tasmania at various times, with somesmoke reaching north to Victoria. By the end ofJanuary, at least 95 000 hectares of vegetation had

been burnt, mostly forest in remote areas. Many ofthe fires continued to burn into February.

Rain and flooding in eastern Australia

A tropical low tracked southeast over the NorthernTerritory from late December, to be near the SouthAustralian and Queensland border on the 1st beforemoving eastward through western and centralQueensland to reach the central coast between the2nd and 4th. Extensive flooding occurred incatchments in the Gulf Country, Central West,Channel Country and parts of the Maranoa andWarrego districts. Moderate to major floods wererecorded in the Flinders River, Parroo River, BullooRiver, and Cooper Creek.

A period of onshore flow produced heavy rain alongthe east coast of NSW between the 4th and 7th, witha developing East Coast Low producing very heavyfalls in the Hunter region on the 5th. The heavy rainresulted in major flooding in the Paters and Williamsrivers and Wollombi Brook, with minor flooding in theLower Hunter, Bulahdelah, Gloucester, Wyong andColo rivers. The flooding resulted in the evacuation ofparts of Raymond Terrace and Dungog, with morethan 2000 calls to the SES related to leaks andinundation as well as 33 flood rescues. Further south,minor flooding was also reported in the Bega River,while a landslide closed a lane of the SnowyMountains Highway at Bemboka on the 4th.

Exceptional rain in northern and easternTasmania

An extensive trough and an associated slow-movingcutoff low pressure system produced widespreadshowers and thunderstorms in eastern Australiaduring the last week of the month. The cutoff lowbrought exceptional rainfall to northeastern Tasmaniain particular. Many sites in northern and easternTasmania reported their wettest January day onrecord, which was also ranked as the highest dailytotal for any month for some locations. A number ofsites registered their wettest January on record as aresult. Gray (Dalmayne Road) registered 221 mm inthe 24 hours to 9 am on the 29th, 489.4 mm over fourdays, and a monthly total of 533.4 mm. The heavyrainfall from the event resulted in widespread flashflooding on much of the East Coast and adjacentranges, as well as in parts of the central north,particularly in the Launceston area. Flooding ofproperties was reported in a number of locations,including Orford and St Marys. More details can befound in Special Climate Statement 54 Extremerainfall in northern and eastern Tasmania.

Thunderstorms in Western Australia

A complex low with embedded thunderstorms movedthrough southwest Western Australia between the18th and 21st and produced moderate to heavyrainfall. Rainfall totals during the event were in the100 mm to 150 mm range in southern parts of thesouthwest, with unofficial reports over 200 mm,leading to localised flooding in some areas.

A surface trough and an associated middle leveltrough produced widespread thunderstorms acrossthe southern half of Western Australia on the 23rdand 25th. Newdegate in the Great Southern districtrecorded a wind gust of 117 km/h on the 23rd. York inthe Central Wheat Belt reported hail damage, whileKalgoorlie reported roof damage and minor floodingon the 25th.

Thunderstorms in South Australia

Thunderstorms developed between Renmark andNaracoorte in the east of South Australia on the 3rd,producing hail up to 2.5 cm in diameter at Keith,resulting in damage to vegetation, and 38 mm rain fellin less than an hour.

A surface low and an upper trough triggeredthunderstorms over most of South Australia on the21st and 22nd. At Cleve on the eastern EyrePeninsula, damaging winds with gust to 106 km/hbrought down trees and tore off part of the roof of thefootball club. Localised heavy rain caused significantflash flooding through several southern Adelaidesuburbs with small hail reported at Hallett Cove.Sandalwood in the Murraylands district recorded61 mm rain in about an hour and up to 2.5 cm indiameter hail. At Berri in the Riverland district, heavyrain caused localised flash flooding.

A developing low moved northeast from the GreatAustralian Bight towards the southeast coast on the29th, passing Adelaide in the late evening. Severewinds impacted eastern Kangaroo Island, thesouthern Yorke Peninsula and the Fleurieu Peninsula.Cape Willoughby on eastern Kangaroo Island recordedsoutheasterly winds of 65-80 km/h with gusts up to111 km/h. Trees were blown down and onto powerlines, leading to power outages to about 800properties. A house roof was torn off near Yorketown.

Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding inQueensland

Severe thunderstorms were observed along theQueensland coast and inland to the central highlandstowards the end of January. Mainly minor structuraldamage including a destroyed shed was reported atBeaudesert in the southeast of the State on the 24th.

Thunderstorms produced heavy rainfall betweenWarwick and Rathdowney causing damage to roofs,and numerous trees and powerlines down atNanango on the 25th.

Trees and powerlines were brought down at HerveyBay on the 29th. A severe thunderstorm producedheavy rainfall over the Wide Bay and Burnett district inQueensland. A man died when his car was washedoff the flooded road near Bundaberg on the 31st.Further rescues occurred near Wallaville, Gympie andChilders.

Damaging thunderstorms in New SouthWales and the Australian Capital Territory

Thunderstorms with hail up to 2 cm in diameter werereported near Dorrigo on the 12th.

Thunderstorms produced severe wind gusts inSydney region, reaching 120 km/h at Sydney Airporton the 14th. The SES completed more than 2500jobs, primarily due to fallen trees and roof damage,including significant damage to some unit blocks inMortdale and Moorebank, the Sefton primary school,a building in Rockdale, and the Berkley Vale RFS.

Very strong winds were reported in the Mid NorthCoast and Hunter Valley districts on the 22nd, withdowned trees and property damage in Bowraville,Greta and Singleton. A wind gust of 135 km/h wasalso reported at Tibooburra in the Upper Westerndistrict on the same day. "Golf ball sized" hail wasreported at Tuggeranong in ACT on the 25th.Thunderstorms produced strong winds, heavy rainand local flash flooding in the Sydney region on the29th and 30th, with damage to buildings andpowerlines. Major property damage was also reportedin the towns of Forbes Creek and Palmers Island.

Thunderstorms in Victoria

Thunderstorms produced very heavy rain innorthwestern Victoria on the 4th, resulting in someflash flooding. Some sites received more than theaverage January rainfall in 24 hours. One man waskilled when attempting to drive cross a flooded bridgeat Seymour. There were over 170 calls to the SES forassistance, mainly for trees down, minor buildingdamage and cars trapped in water.

Thunderstorms brought heavy rain to Melbourne areaand surrounding areas in the last week of month.Flash flooding in Geelong occurred on the 27th andthe train station was inundated causing disruptions torail services. Hail was reported in the Packenham andBelgrave area (southeast to Melbourne CBD) on the28th. A severe thunderstorm with a suspectedtornado hit Reservoir (north-northeast to Melbourne


CBD). There were 250 calls to the SES reportingdamaged roofs, smashed windows and flash flooding.

Dust storms and wind gusts in Victoria

Synoptic summary

A tropical low located near the border between theNorthern Territory, Queensland and South Australia atthe start of the month produced widespread cloudthat extended over much of the eastern andsoutheastern interior of the country. By the 6th, thetropical low was positioned on the east coast ofAustralia with a trough extending along much of theeast coast and into the Tasman Sea, bringingextensive cloud over the New South Wales andQueensland coast. Meanwhile, patchy cloudassociated with a low pressure trough along the westcoast extended into inland Western Australia.

Several complex low pressure troughs extendedacross Western Australia, Northern Territory andQueensland between the 7th and the 10th while aridge of high pressure became established in theTasman Sea. A cold frontal system associated with adeep low pressure system moved over waters south

of the Great Australian Bight, crossing Tasmania andparts of the southeast mainland on the 13th ahead ofa high pressure system that moved in from the west.Low pressure troughs lingered across much of themainland from the 14th through to the 27th.

The final few days of the month saw a broad troughof low pressure become established over the tropicswhile a cold front approached Victoria and Tasmaniafrom the west on the 28th. A tropical low deepened,developing into tropical cyclone Stan off the north-northwest of Port Hedland on the 29th. TC Stanmoved southeast towards the east Pilbara coast,intensifying into a category two system, makinglandfall early morning on the 31st. Stan weakened toa tropical low while moving through the east Pilbarathen rapidly moved through the southeast of theWestern Australian and into southern parts of SouthAustralia by 1 February.


Temperatures

The mean temperature for Australia was 0.52 °Cabove average during January 2016, with well aboveaverage temperatures across parts of the tropics,southern coasts and in Tasmania but cooler thanaverage temperatures in the Pilbara and in parts of theCentral interior. Mean temperatures were thewarmest on record for the northeast of the NorthernTerritory and northern tip of Cape York Peninsula.Temperatures were in the lowest 10% of records orlowest on record across parts Western Australia,most notably in the Pilbara area.

The national mean minimum temperature was0.83 °C above average, while the mean maximumtemperature was 0.21 °C above the historicalaverage.

Maximum temperatures

Maximum temperatures during January were wellabove average in a band extending across the tropicsfrom the Kimberley district of Western Australia,across the Top End of the Northern Territory to the farnorth of Cape York Peninsula. Tasmania recorded itsseventh-warmest January on record with a statewidemean daily maximum temperature anomaly of+1.89 °C. All States except Western Australia and theNorthern Territory recorded above average meanmaximum temperatures for January.

Anomalies of mean daily maximumtemperature in January 2016

Decile rank of mean daily maximumtemperature in January 2016

Maximum temperatures well below average acrossmuch of Western Australia extending into southernareas of the Northern Territory, associated withrainfall during the month. Maximum temperatureswere close to normal for most of eastern SouthAustralia, western Queensland and much of NewSouth Wales.

The month began with cool days across much ofcentral Australia, as a slow moving trough of lowpressure and associated heavy rainfall tracked acrossthe interior and into New South Wales. The passageof the trough saw a few locations in New SouthWales record their coldest January day on record onthe 3rd (see page 15). This trough was followed by aslow-moving high pressure system that brought hightemperatures across northern and central WesternAustralia between the 3rd and the 6th.

With temperatures remaining above average acrossthe tropics, particularity across Arnhem Land and thefar north of the Cape York Peninsula, warmerconditions also began to build across the southernregions of the continent from the 11th. By the 13th,most of Victoria and large areas of southern NewSouth Wales recorded maximum temperatures inexcess of 10 °C above normal, while a prefrontaltrough and a southerly airstream brought coolerconditions to southern areas of Western Australia.The cooler temperatures spread eastward throughSouth Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmaniaand into southeast Queensland in the following days,as the trough tracked across the Great AustralianBight.

Daytime temperatures across coastal areas ofWestern Australia were again below average from the18th through to the 21st from a lingering low pressuresystem that brought rainfall to the region, but thesoutheast experienced above average temperaturesonce more. The tropical regions of the NorthernTerritory and Queensland saw maximum


temperatures persist above average through to theend of the month. The month finished with thepassage of tropical cyclone Stan across the Pilbaracoast, bringing heavy rainfall and cooler temperatureto northern parts of Western Australia on the 31st.

Minimum temperatures

Minimum temperatures were above average acrossmost of Australia during January 2016, excluding thePilbara, central regions and parts of the east coast.The nationally-averaged mean daily minimumtemperature anomaly was +0.83 °C. Mean dailyminimum temperatures were the third-warmest onrecord for Tasmania and seventh-warmest on recordfor Victoria. Minimum temperatures were also aboveaverage for every other State and the NorthernTerritory.

Anomalies of mean daily minimumtemperature in January 2016

Decile rank of mean daily minimumtemperature in January 2016

Large areas of southern and eastern parts of WesternAustralia, the Top End of the Northern Territory,Northern Queensland, southern parts of SouthAustralia, southern Victoria, and Tasmania recordedminimum temperatures in the ten warmest years onrecord. Record high temperatures were mostlyrestricted to small regions of southwest WesternAustralia, eastern Tasmania and the far north of CapeYork Peninsula. In comparison, minimumtemperatures were below average across areas of thePilbara in Western Australia; inland from Carnarvonminimum temperatures were in the lowest 10 percent of records.

For the first week or so of the month, nights werewarmer than average across parts of WesternAustralia, particularly for interior areas. The passage ofa low pressure across central Australia at the end ofthe second week brought increased cloud cover andrainfall with warmer than average nights to SouthAustralia, southwest Queensland and southeast NewSouth Wales. These areas saw generally cooler thanaverage nights in the wake of the trough.

Between the 18th and 21st, a low pressure systemthat tracked across southern parts of South Australia,into Victoria and southern New South Wales saw areturn of warmer nights to these areas. From the23rd, warmer than average nights extended throughQueensland and across eastern parts of the Top Endof the Northern Territory as a broad trough extendedacross the Tropics.


Rainfall

For Australia as a whole, January rainfall was about8% below average. There was a marked contrastbetween the north and the south of the country.Although much of northern Australia recordedmonthly totals exceeding 100 mm, this is well belowthe January average, and some areas received theirlowest January rainfall on record. Much of thesouthern half of the continent received well aboveaverage rainfall, with areas in Western Australia, partsof southeastern New South Wales and the northeastof Tasmania reporting their highest January rainfall onrecord. Numerous locations in Western Australia,New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania brokeJanuary monthly rainfall records (see page 18).

Total rainfall in January 2016

Decile rank of total rainfall in January 2016

At the beginning of the month, a tropical low locatednear the border between the Northern Territory,Queensland and South Australian and a weakeningtrough extending from this low pressure system intothe Gulf Country produced a moist airmass over muchof western Queensland. Moderate to heavy rainfalltotals were recorded over western Queensland andnortheastern South Australia, the Cape York Peninsulaand the Gulf Country.

The weakening tropical low, along with a broad troughand cloudband, tracked slowly across easternAustralia, with heavy falls recorded in Queensland'ssouthern interior on the 3rd. Much of eastern

Queensland south of Townsville, along with easternNew South Wales and parts of eastern, northwestand central Victoria recording moderate falls on the4th. With the tropical low located over the central eastcoast of Queensland by the 4th, the system extendedwidespread cloud into New South Wales and Victoria,with moderate totals recorded along the coast ofQueensland south of Mackay. Heavier falls werereported from Port Macquarie to the South Coast ofNew South Wales between the 5th and 6th as a lowpressure centre deepened on a trough located alongthe east coast. Very heavy falls were recorded in theHunter district of New South Wales, with the raineasing by the 7th. There were a number of dailyrainfall records broken in New South Wales.

Scattered thunderstorms formed along a weak troughlocated through the interior of Western Australia, withmoderate falls in the Kimberley and parts of the SouthWest Land Division. Another trough situated throughinland Queensland triggered isolated thunderstormsover parts of central Queensland and the Cape YorkPeninsula between the 8th and the 12th.

A complex surface and middle-level trough extendedfrom northern Western Australia through the interiorof the continent and into New South Wales from the13th. A cloudband and isolated thunderstormsbrought moderate falls to the Kimberley and centralAustralia. Meanwhile, the passage of a cold frontacross southeast Australia brought moderate falls tocentral and eastern New South Wales and easternVictoria.

An inland trough extending through Queensland and aridge over the eastern seaboard in the wake of thecold front produced moderate to heavy falls in centralQueensland on the 17th. Thunderstorms across thenorthwest of the continent formed along anothersurface trough located over the west coast ofWestern Australia. A complex area of low pressuredeveloped over central and southwest WesternAustralia on the 18th, with thunderstorms producingheavy falls over the South West Land Division. As thesystem moved slowly eastwards, rainfall totalsbetween 10 mm and 50 mm were recorded insouthern South Australia and western Victoria, andparts of eastern New South Wales. A surface troughextended from the Northern Territory to southeasternAustralia generating moderate falls in the Kimberley,western Top End and the interior of the continentbetween the 20th and 22nd.

A deepening surface trough near the west coast ofWestern Australia triggered thunderstorms over thePilbara down to the South West Land Division on the


24th, with some heavy falls recorded in the Pilbaraand Gascoyne districts

A large and slow-moving cutoff low pressure systemaffected southeastern Australia during the last weekof the month. The surface low, which wasaccompanied by an intense upper-level low, formedwest of Tasmania on the 27th, moving northeast overthe southeastern mainland by the 29th beforebecoming nearly stationary for the rest of the month.Rainfall totals exceeded 100 mm over most of theeast coast and central north of Tasmania. Gray(Dalmayne Road) registered 221 mm in the 24 hoursto 9 am on the 29th, 489.4 mm over four days, and amonthly total of 533.4 mm. More details can be foundin Special Climate Statement 54 Extreme rainfall in

northern and eastern Tasmania. Rainfall was alsosubstantial over much of eastern mainland Australia,with weekly totals for from the 25th in the range of 25to 100 mm over most of the eastern halves ofQueensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

An active monsoon trough at the end of the monthbrought moderate falls to northern Australia. Tropicalcyclone Stan formed off northwest Western Australiaon the 29th, and made landfall on the 30th, withmoderate to heavy falls recorded in the Pilbara andGascoyne, extending down the west coast. A deeptrough located along the east coast generated someheavy falls along the Capricornia coast and adjacentinland districts in Queensland.
