Monthly Weather ReviewAustraliaOctober 2013

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. This product replaces theseven State and Territory Monthly Weather Reviews that were produced from January 1965 to June 2013, and are availableelectronically back to July 2008 at www.bom.gov.au/climate/mwr/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.

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.Area averages for temperature are calculated using the ACORN-SAT dataset.

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

• Well-above-average maximum and meantemperature nationally (3rd and 7th highest onrecord)

• Second-warmest October maxima for Queenslandand Western Australia

• New South Wales' worst bushfires since at least1968

• Rainfall below average except in Tasmania,southwestern Victoria and the northwest coast

October area-averaged maximum and meantemperatures were the third and seventh warmest onrecord for Australia as a whole (anomalies of +2.10 °Cand +1.43 °C respectively). The minimumtemperature was also well above average, with aanomaly of +0.76 °C. Tasmania was the only State torecord a below-average maximum temperature, whileNew South Wales and Victoria recorded cooler-than-average nights and South Australia recorded near-

average minima. Large areas of the northern tropicsrecorded their warmest October maxima on record(see page 15). Maxima were warmer than averageacross nearly all of Australia, except for Tasmania andVictoria which were near-average, while warmer-than-average minima were recorded across Queenslandand the north, Western Australia, the southern coastand northern Tasmania.

October rainfall was below average nationally, with anarea-averaged total of 13.3 mm (51% below the long-term average). Rainfall was below average acrossmost of the mainland, above average along thenorthwestern coast, coastal southern Victoria andadjacent South Australia and across most ofTasmania. Some sites in New South Wales andQueensland recorded their driest October on record(see page 18).

Significant weather

Gales in the southeast to start the monthA fast-moving cold front crossed southeasternAustralia between 29 September and 1 October,bringing strong to gale force winds, thundery showersand gusts in the vicinity of 100 km/h to parts of SouthAustralia, Victoria, Tasmania and southeastern NewSouth Wales. Significant wind observations wererecorded in both the north-northwesterly winds aheadof the front and the west-southwesterly winds behindthe front, with most of the severe winds and gustsassociated with the northerly jet ahead of the front.The South Australian State Emergency Service (SES)received 500 calls, mostly across the Mid North,Barossa Valley, Riverland and Adelaide Hills. In NewSouth Wales the most extensive damage occurred onthe Central Coast, with more than 800 calls receivedby the SES. Damage was also widespread inMelbourne. The Victorian SES received more than3000 calls after gusts of more than 100 km/h wererecorded at multiple locations across the metropolitanarea, felling trees and cutting power to 150 000premises. Damage was also reported in Tasmaniawith fallen trees and power outages, especially in thenorthwest.

A deep low and cold fronts brought strong to galeforce westerly winds and isolated thundery showersacross southeastern South Australia and northernTasmania on 1 and 2 October. Sustained gales werereported at several coastal sites with gusts in excessof 90 km/h in South Australia and up to 143 km/h ineastern Tasmania. Reports of storm damage weremost common in the Lower South East and thewestern parts of the Murraylands District in SouthAustralia while in Tasmania there were more than 30SES callouts, delays to shipping and air transport andseveral road closures. High winds continued to beobserved across Victoria during the first week ofOctober with the eastern suburbs of Melbourne againbearing the worst of the damage and, although windswere not as strong as those on the 1st, the SEScontinued to receive numerous calls, totalling around5000 calls over the week as a whole. Tasmaniaexperienced further high winds on the 15th and 16th.

Early-season heat in the southA number of early-season heat records were set inthe three days to 10 October around the top of theBight, in central Australia, northwestern New SouthWales and in the inland north. The exceptionalwarmth had repercussions for grain farmers acrossSouth Australia, with substantial losses resulting.

Frosts in the inland southeastSouthern New South Wales and northeastern Victoriaexperienced a number of severe frosts duringOctober on the mornings of the 4th, 15th, 18th, and25th. These frosts collectively destroyed substantialproportions of crops including wheat, barley, canola,grapes, stone fruits and strawberries. Losses wereestimated to be between 30% and 60% in largeareas, to near-complete losses in some areas, withtotal losses of several million dollars. The extensivedamage was in part driven by the unusual warmthearlier in spring, which resulted in plant developmentbeing further along than in a typical year, increasingthe plants' exposure to frost risk. Hotter meanconditions can lead to plants developing earlier andfaster than would otherwise have been the case.

More gales for the southeastOn 22 October an intense complex low pressuresystem produced gale force winds and damaginggusts over southeastern South Australia and Victoria.There were numerous reports of trees down andsome property damage in the Lower Eyre Peninsula,southern Yorke Peninsula and across Adelaide andthe Mount Lofty Ranges. Gusts in the vicinity of100 km/h were reported in coastal regions, with thehighest mean wind speeds observed ranging from63& km/h to 80 km/h. Later that evening a smalltornado wrought a narrow path of damage throughArarat, in western Victoria, damaging several homes,sheds and a hardware store. The SES received tencalls in Ararat with around another 100 calls acrossVictoria for wind and rain damage, 38 fromMelbourne.

Thunderstorms on the eastern coastLocalised morning thunderstorms in parts of easternSydney on 28 October caused rainfall totals of21.4 mm between 4:30 and 5:30 am at SydneyObservatory Hill, with flash flooding reported in theeastern suburbs. On the 29th an afternoon southerlychange produced a more widespread storm outbreakas a southerly change generated strong winds incoastal areas, with severe thunderstorms along theeastern seaboard from Sydney to southeastQueensland, with hail 2 cm to 3 cm in diameterreported at Nanango inland of the Sunshine Coast.The New South Wales SES received more than 600calls for roof damage and downed trees, mostlyaround and north of Sydney. Six people were injured.

Other reports of large hail during October included:

• Hail with a diameter of 2 cm at Rockhampton andMiriam Vale, south of Rockhampton, on theafternoon of the 3rd.


• 3 cm hail at Evans Head and west Ballina, on thenorthern coast of New South Wales, on the 8th.

• A maximum wind gust of 124 km/h at Oakey,northwest of Toowoomba, and hail larger than2 cm in diameter on the 18th.

Bushfires in the Blue Mountains and aroundSydneyDry, hot and windy conditions during October sawwidespread and severe fires in eastern New SouthWales, causing the loss of numerous houses, otherbuildings and infrastructure including rail, tourism andpower as well as close to 100 000 hectares ofbushland. Natural Disasters were declared in 19 areasfollowing the bushfires, primarily in the BlueMountains and on the Central and Mid North Coasts,with a State of Emergency declared by the NewSouth Wales premier on October 20. At times morethan 100 fires were burning across the State, manyuncontrolled. Two deaths were also associated withthe fires; a man collapsed while fighting fires inSpringwood on the 18th, while a Rural Fire Service

pilot died after a crash while fighting bushfires nearUlladulla.

A large grassfire at the Olympic Park Aquatic Centre,in Homebush, destroyed 43 vehicles on the 13th anddamaged another 30 while 1500 people wereevacuated. Three large fires at Port Stephensdestroyed four houses and at least 17 otherstructures. The situation worsened on the 17th and18th as strong winds associated with a cold frontenhanced fire activity in the Blue Mountains, withsignificant large fires in the north of the WollemiNational Park and at Port Stephens. The SES receivedover 300 requests around Sydney as a result of thesewinds. The State Mine fire near Lithgow burnt morethan 50 000 hectares by the end of the month, havingbeen deliberately merged with the smaller fire atMount Victoria, north of Katoomba. The Springwoodfire, northeast of Penrith, was the most damaging;destroying 193 homes in Springwood and Winmaleeand damaging another 122. Fifteen other houseswere also lost at Victoria, Lithgow, Wyong, andBalmoral.

Synoptic summary

The dominant synoptic pattern through much ofOctober was one of the subtropical high pressureridge established over mainland Australia, betweenabout latitudes 25°S and 35°S, and strong westerlyflow south of that ridge, a pattern which brought dryconditions to the bulk of the continent, but wetconditions to areas exposed to the westerlies –principally western Tasmania, southwestern Victoriaand southeastern South Australia.

This pattern persisted almost unbroken through thefirst three weeks of October. During this time,numerous fronts embedded in the westerlies crossedsouthern Australia, with strong winds ahead of andnear the fronts. Significant frontal passages occurredthrough southeastern Australia on the 1st, 2nd, 13thand 17th. Severe fire weather conditions occurred on

the east coast in the dry, windy weather ahead ofthese fronts (particularly the last two), while cold air inthe wake of the fronts resulted in frosts in the inlandsoutheast. The strongest front to affect the south ofWestern Australia during this time was on the 8th.

The pattern shifted slightly during the last part of themonth, with the subtropical high drifting further south.Two weak cutoff lows moved across southernAustralia over this time, one moving from inlandSouth Australia across Victoria to east of Tasmaniafrom the 21st to the 23rd, the second moving slowlyfrom near Perth on the 25th, to northwest Victoria onthe 28th and off the southern coast of New SouthWales by the 29th. The first cutoff low broughtwidespread rain on the 22nd, mostly in southernVictoria, but only light falls occurred with the second.


Temperatures

October was again a warmer-than-average month forAustralia, the fifteenth in a string of consecutive warmmonths since August 2012. The national meantemperature anomaly was +2.10 °C (third highest onrecord), the minimum temperature anomaly +0.76 °Cand the mean temperature anomaly +1.43 °C(seventh highest on record). October also saw the12-month mean temperature record broken for a thirdtime (see the October Climate Update for furtherdetail).

Maximum temperatures

Averaged over October, maximum temperatureswere above average across the vast majority ofAustralia with near, or slightly below averagetemperatures only recorded in Tasmania, Victoria andthe adjacent southeast of South Australia. Tasmaniawas the only State to record area-averaged monthlymaxima below the long-term average, whileQueensland, New South Wales and Western Australiaeach recorded positive anomalies in excess of twodegrees. Areas of northern Australia in the Top End,western Kimberley and northwestern Queenslandrecorded their warmest October monthly maximumtemperatures (see page 15) while 61% of thecontinent in the highest 10% of records. A number ofstations also set records for highest October dailymaximum temperature: around the South West LandDivision of Western Australia on the 30th and acrosswestern New South Wales on the 21st.

Decile rank of mean daily maximumtemperature in October 2013

October commenced with a strong ridge of highpressure in place across central Australia and awesterly flow with embedded cold fronts to thesouth, a pattern fairly characteristic of the month.Maxima were cooler than average across the southand warmer than average along the east coast on the1st; the last remnants of warm conditions at the closeof September, driven by north to northwesterly flowahead of a cold front passing over the southeast.Southerly to southwesterly flow in the wake ofseveral cold fronts continued to keep maxima belowaverage across the south coast on the 2nd and acrossthe greater southeast on the 3rd while northeasterliesbrought a warm day to the southwest.

A broad area of high pressure and mostly clearconditions over the mainland saw warmer-than-average maxima across much of the south on the 5th,continuing on the following days with a broad heattrough over northern parts of Western Australiaextending into the southeast on the 6th leading tomore widespread warmth, although Tasmania andVictoria were exempt. On the 8th, northerly windsahead of an approaching cold front broughttemperatures more than 12 degrees above average toa large area around the Bight. The anomalous warmthmoved eastward along the southern coastline on the9th maintaining similar peak anomalies; into centralAustralia, southern Queensland and New SouthWales on the 10th; lessened in strength overQueensland on the 11th; then became widespreadagain on the 12th, covering most of the central andeastern mainland; and finally contracted into thenorth, Queensland and New South Wales on the 13thbefore dissipating. A number of early-season heatrecords were set during these days.

An area of low cloud associated with a cold front kepttemperatures over southwest Western Australia wellbelow average on the 9th, with some areas more than8 degrees cooler than average in inland parts of theSouth West Land Division. Conditions were also


http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/updates/articles/a006-oct-2013-ytd-temperature.shtml

generally somewhat cooler than average across thesouth of Western Australia, South Australia andVictoria on the following day.

Another cold front, and southerly flow in its wake,again brought cooler days to the southwest on the12th. Cool anomalies spread across South Australia,Tasmania and Victoria on the 13th as the front movedeastward, and extended from the southeast throughSouth Australia and the southern Northern Territoryon the 14th as a high over the Bight generally keptskies clear.

As this high moved eastward, warmer-than-averagetemperatures returned to western and southernWestern Australia on the 15th. A ridge of highpressure became established in the following daysand was little disrupted for the remainder of themonth, allowing warm anomalies to spread throughthe Interior District, South Australia and the southeaston the 16th; across most of Australia on the 17th,excluding Tasmania, South Australia and Victoriawhere the passage of a cold front resulted in cooler-than-average temperatures. Maxima were warmerthan average across Western Australia and the coastof South Australia on the 18th, taking in much of thecountry over the following two days before a coldfront crossing the southwest on the 19th and anassociated southeasterly flow in its wake broughtcooler-than-average days to the region. This resultedin a large area adjacent to the southern coastrecording days more than 8 degrees cooler thanaverage on the 20th.

Cool conditions persisted across the west, thenmoved across the south as cold fronts crossed theBight bringing widespread southerly flow which sawtemperatures up to 6 degrees cooler than averageacross much of the southeast and central Australia onthe 24th. Nevertheless, a large area of the inlandsoutheast recorded maxima more than 12 degreesabove average on the 21st before anomalous warmthcontracted towards the eastern seaboard and intoQueensland on the 24th before dissipating.

A high moved into the Bight on the 24th andremained in place until the end of the month, bringingfine clear conditions to most of Australia for theremainder of the month and re-establishing warmernortherly winds across the west. Warmer-than-average days followed in the south of WesternAustralia on the 25th and entered South Australia onthe 26th, included western Queensland on the 27thand most of the mainland except the northern tropicsand southern coast on the 28th, and were generallyrestricted to parts of the east coast and southern halfof Western Australia again during the last three days

of October, with large areas of the southwestrecording maxima more than 12 degrees aboveaverage on the 30th and 31st.

Minimum temperatures

Minimum temperatures were above average for themajority of Western Australia, southwestern SouthAustralia, the tropical north and most of the remainderof Queensland. Parts of coastal Victoria and theadjacent southeast of South Australia, northern andeastern Tasmania also recorded above-averagemonthly minima. Minima were below average for aregion extending from central Australia to Adelaideand the Riverlands in South Australia and for a regionin the southeast covering central northern Victoria andmost of the southeastern quarter of New SouthWales. New South Wales and Victoria recordedbelow-average monthly minimum temperatures, whilearea-averaged anomalies for minima in Queensland,Western Australia and Tasmania ranked equal-tenthhighest, ninth highest and seventh highestrespectively.

Decile rank of mean daily minimumtemperature in October 2013

The month started with a warmer-than-average nightin much of the eastern States and central Australiafollowing a warm finish to September. Cooler-than-average nights across the south of Western Australiaon the 1st were associated with southerly winds


ahead of an approaching high pressure system. Asthe high progressed across the Bight, bringing clearskies and cool nights, the anomalously cool minimumtemperatures spread along the southern coastline andwere focussed in central Australia and the mainlandsoutheast on the morning of 4 October. Sub-zerominima were recorded along and inland of the rangesin areas from the Victorian Alps to northeastern NewSouth Wales, resulting in the first of several frostscausing severe crop damage during the month.Minima were also below average in the NorthernTerritory, southern Queensland and New South Waleson the following two mornings, but to a lesserdegree. Areas of the north and east continued to seebelow-average minima until the 10th.

Minima were above average in the south of WesternAustralia on the 4th and along much of the southerncoast on the 5th under the influence of a heat troughextending southwards from the Kimberley. Nightswere warmer than average for most of SouthAustralia and southeastern Western Australia on the9th as this trough and northerly winds behind a highpressure system over New South Wales elevatedtemperatures. Similar conditions prevailed over SouthAustralia and the southeast the following night, whilenights were generally warmer than average acrossthe south of the Northern Territory, southernQueensland and northern New South Wales on the13th.

Cold air behind a series of fronts and troughs in agenerally westerly flow across the south of Australiabrought cooler nights to the region between the 10thand 16th. Cool conditions were especially widespreadon the 14th with minima up to 12 degrees cooler thanaverage recorded in the Eucla; Eyre recorded itslowest minimum temperature in 26 years of record,−5.0 °C, breaking the lowest minimum temperatureon record for Western Australia in October. Minimawere broadly 8 to 10 degrees cooler than averageacross much of the inland southeast and SouthAustralia on the following morning, resulting in asecond significant frost event in southern New SouthWales and northeastern Victoria on the morning of the15th.

Minima were generally above average across theeastern mainland States on the 17th before a highover the southeast brought another cold, clearmorning to the southeast and South Australia on the18th and the most widespread of the October frostevents. This resulted in sub-zero minima across alarge area of southeastern New South Wales and thenortheastern quarter of Victoria.

The southeast and central Australia were againgenerally cooler than average overnight to themorning of the 19th, with a heat trough through theinterior of Western Australia seeing a return ofwarmer-than-average nights through much of thatState. Minima were warmer than average over muchof Australia on the 20th under northerly winds aheadof an approaching trough and associated cloudband,over the inland southeast and South Australia on the21st, and especially so in inland New South Wales onthe morning of the 22nd when a number of record-high minima were recorded following a very warmday on the 21st. Nights remained warmer thanaverage for much of the east and Northern Territoryover the next few days but gradually returned tocloser to average temperatures.

The morning of the 25th saw the last significant frostevent for the month over the southeast, as a highover the Bight extended a ridge into New SouthWales and cool southwesterlies penetrated inland.Nights remained cooler than average in the southeastand southern Northern Territory until the 27th.

Meanwhile, in Western Australia a well developedcoastal trough and high in the Bight saw warm nightsreturn to the west, with slightly-above-averagetemperatures on the morning of the 25th and an evenwarmer night the next day. As the high expandedeastward, above-average overnight minima were thenorm for the remainder of the month, althoughanother high moving over the Bight at the end ofOctober restricted to Western Australia on themornings of the 30th and 31st with nights onlyslightly warmer than average across the north onthese days.


Rainfall

Overall, October was a drier than average month witha national average rainfall of 11.4 mm (51% below thelong-term average). During October Australia wasdominated by very strong westerly wind anomalies,with very dry and warm conditions over the eastcoast, and very wet conditions in western Tasmania.Tasmania was the only State to report above-averagerainfall, 54% above average for that State's 11th-highest October rainfall with the highest monthlytotals nationally observed in the West Coast District.The wettest site overall was Mount Read with618.4 mm. Rainfall was above average for northernand western Tasmania, southwestern Victoria and theadjacent corner of South Australia, the coastal regionsbetween Carnarvon in Western Australia and theVictoria River region in the eastern Top End. Doulbethe average October rainfall was recorded in westernTasmania and more than triple the average in parts ofthe Pilbara and Kimberley. Rainfall was below averagefor most of the mainland, covering the south of theInterior District of Western Australia, South Australiaeast of the Spencer Gulf and along the northern andeastern border, the Alice Springs District of theNorthern Territory, Queensland south of Townsville,and nearly all of New South Wales. Rainfall over theMurray–Darling Basin was very much below averageand the tenth-driest October for the region at 64%below the long-term average; many sites within theregion recorded their driest October for at least 30years (see page 18).

Total rainfall in October 2013

Decile rank of total rainfall in October 2013

Rain was recorded over the southeast in the first daysof the month, associated with a very strong cold frontwhich extended from northwestern New SouthWales, through eastern Victoria to a low pressuresystem south of Tasmania. Extensive middle-levelcloud, embedded thunderstorm activity and gustystrong to gale force winds stretching from centralAustralia through the southeast and over the TasmanSea were caused by this system. Areas of rain werealso recorded in southeast Queensland in the 24hours to 9 am on the 2nd at the interface betweenthe northern tail of this cold front and the southernend of a trough of low pressure which traced thenorthern coastline. Isolated showers and storms wererecorded elsewhere along the northern coastlinebetween the 2nd and 5th under patchy clouddeveloping ahead of the trough. A high pressuresystem moving across central Australia on the 3rd and4th cleared the shower and storm activity.

A long cold front approaching Western Australia onthe night of the 8th weakened ahead of a highpressure ridge on the 9th although middle-level cloudover the southwest of the State persisted along theremaining pressure trough, bringing showers duringthe 48 hours to 9 am on the 10th. As the southernportion of the cold front tracked across the oceansouth of Tasmania and the trough progressed acrosssouthern Australia, a thick band of middle- to upper-level cloud over southeastern Australia brought rain towestern Tasmania from the 9th, and moderate fallsover eastern Victoria later on the 10th. WesternTasmania continued to receive moderate to heavyfalls into the morning of the 13th as two further coldfronts crossed the State and a complex area of lowpressure well to the south maintained the westerlyflow across the State.

Southwesterly winds in the wake of a cold frontextending from a low south of Tasmania to easternSouth Australia on the 13th brought showers tosouthern Victoria and western Tasmania, withscattered light falls in areas of low cloud over coastalNew South Wales.

A weakening cold front caused rain in westernTasmania as it approached from the west on the 15th,before passing to the south of the State. A second,more significant front associated with a deepeninglow south of the Bight brought heavier falls and galeforce and gusty winds to the west, south and east ofTasmania on the 15th and 16th as moist westerlywinds formed areas of low cloud about the southeastAustralian coast, with light falls on the southern coastof the mainland. Further light falls were recorded inthe same areas on the 17th, associated with low-level


cloud in a cold southwesterly airsteam behind thefront.

From the 14th, areas of middle-level cloud wereevident over northern Australia. A pressure troughextending along the coast from southeastQueensland to well into Western Australia and a highpressure system passing over the Bight directedhumid northeasterly flow into parts of the tropicalnorth, turning northwesterly across the Top End andKimberley as the system moved eastward. Scatteredshowers and storm activity contracted to the northover the following days, persisting over the northQueensland coast until the 17th.

On the 17th a cloud band associated with the troughover the north and a cold front extending fromsoutheast Queensland across the Tasman Sea toNew Zealand brought thunderstorm activity tosoutheast Queensland and northeast New SouthWales. Showers continued through to the 18th inonshore flow to the north of a high behind the trough.

A cold front and associated extensive middle-levelcloud band reached the far southwest of WesternAustralia on the 19th, extending cloud coversoutheast over Tasmania and the southern TasmanSea. The front weakened into a trough as it crossedsouthern Australia but embedded thunderstormactivity within the cloud cover persisted, bringingextensive falls across the southwest over thefollowing two days, heaviest along the southern coastbetween Cape Leeuwin and the top of the Bight. Onthe morning of the 21st the cloudband had reachedthe southeast, bringing areas of rain, mostly along the

southern coast of the mainland and to coastalsoutheast New South Wales, with further rainfallacross northern Tasmania, Victoria and adjacent partsof southeast South Australia and alpine New SouthWales on the 22nd. Areas of rain contracted towardsthe coast of the mainland on the following day,although western Tasmania continued to receive fallsfrom fronts embedded in a southwesterly airflow tothe south of the mainland into the 25th.

A trough extending from the Kimberley regionthrough the interior generated areas of cloud withisolated thunderstorm activity over the far northernKimberley late on the 20th with further shower andstorm activity in middle-level cloud over the Kimberleyand Victoria River regions on the 22nd and 23rd.Patchy low cloud along the Queensland coast due toonshore flow also brought rainfall between Townsvilleand Cooktown on the 22nd in onshore flowassociated with a ridge of high pressure extendingalong the Queensland coast. Other isolated areas ofrain, mostly associated with surface troughs, werealso recorded along the northwest coast, western TopEnd and Gulf Country from the 26th until the month'send.

Severe thunderstorms were recorded in locations onthe east coast from southeast Queensland to thecentral coast of New South Wales on the 29th incloud associated with a trough extending throughinland Queensland and around the northern andwestern coast, linking up to a low pressure systemlocated off the central New South Wales Coast.
