The Monthly Weather Review - Queensland is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology'sQueensland Climate Services Centre.

It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events inQueensland for the month.

To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Although everyeffort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until complete quality controlprocedures 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 orsuggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us:

Units of measurementExcept 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 periodsEach station in Queensland makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past 24hours 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 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 onthe 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 all availableyears of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 10 years of record, as they cannotthen 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.

Tropical Cyclone JasmineOn the last day of January a low formed overwestern Cape York Peninsula. This low formed withinthe monsoon trough that lay over far northQueensland. On the 1st February the low moved intothe southeast Gulf of Carpentaria. On the 2nd, thelow in the Gulf of Carpentaria moved eastwards overCape York Peninsula and by the 3rd, the developinglow was situated 260 km off the Queensland coastfrom Cairns. On the 4th, the eastward moving lowdeveloped into Category 1 Tropical Cyclone Jasmine,which was located over the northwest Coral Seaapproximately 420 km east of Cairns. On the 5thTropical Cyclone Jasmine developed further into aCategory 2 cyclone as it continued to moveeastwards further away from the Queensland coast.Tropical Cyclone Jasmine moved eastwards outside

of the Australian area of responsibility for tropicalcyclone forecasting on the 6th.

Flooding over the interior of Queensland,particularly the southDuring early February a very significant rainfall eventoccurred over inland Queensland and New SouthWales. A relatively stationary trough produced daysof moderate to heavy rainfall over the Central West,Warrego, Maranoa, Central Highlands and ChannelCountry Regions of Queensland. Daily totals were ashigh as 200 mm during the event, with rainfall totalsfor the whole event in excess of 500 mm. Recordmajor flooding was recorded through the Maranoaand Balonne Rivers, including the towns of Mitchell,Roma and St George. The largest flood since therecord flood of 1990 was recorded in the WarregoRiver at Charleville, with levels reaching very close tothe newly completed levee. Other towns affectedduring this period include: Thallon, Flinton,Nindigully, Surat, Amby, Bollon, Dirranbandi, Hebel,Augathella, Cunnamulla, Eulo, Hungerford, Quilpie,Thargomindah, Blackall, Isisford, Longreach,Windorah, Jericho and Alpha.

Later in the month moderate to heavy rainfall wasrecorded along the Sunshine Coast and adjacentinland areas. This rainfall produced minor tomoderate flooding throughout the region, the mostsignificant of which was a moderate flood peak alongthe Mary River at Gympie.

Synoptic summaryThe month started with a low pressure systemsituated over the southeast of the Gulf ofCarpentaria with the monsoon trough extendingover far north Queensland. A slow moving surfacetrough lay over the Queensland interior. Showers,rain areas and thunderstorms developed over thenorthern tropics and throughout the state's interior.

On the 2nd, the low in the Gulf of Carpentaria movedeastwards over Cape York Peninsula. A surfacetrough extended from the low through theQueensland interior. On the 3rd, the developing lowwas situated off the Queensland coast from Cairnsand the surface trough extending from the low layover the Central Coast to the Maranoa district.During the 2nd and 3rd along the trough rain areas,showers, isolated thunderstorms and cool to coldconditions developed in a band from the northwestof the state into the central and southern interior.This brought locally heavy falls, particularly over thesouthern interior.

On the 4th, the eastward moving low developed intoCategory 1 Tropical Cyclone Jasmine, which waslocated over the northwest Coral Sea approximately420km east of Cairns. A surface trough extendedfrom the cyclone onto the southern tropical coastbringing showers and areas of rain along the tropicalcoast and adjacent interior.

From the 5th Tropical Cyclone Jasmine developedfurther into a Category 2 cyclone as it continued tomove eastwards further away from the Queenslandcoast. Showers and rain areas along the tropicalcoast and adjacent interior eased as the low movedfurther offshore. Tropical Cyclone Jasmine movedeastwards outside of the Australian area ofresponsibility for tropical cyclone forecasting on the6th. A surface trough lay over inland Queensland onthe 6th and a weak monsoon trough extended acrosssouthern Cape York Peninsula bringing scatteredshowers and thunderstorms over the far north.

On the 7th, a trough lay over the eastern interior andremained for the following few days. Scatteredshowers and storms developed over far northernQueensland. Cool minimum temperatures persistedthroughout the west and central interior from the7th to the 13th.

On the 8th, a surface trough was situated over thestate's southeast, and an upper level troughextended over Queensland's interior. Isolatedshowers and thunderstorms developed over easterndistricts of the state.

From the 9th to the 13th, a surface trough extendedover the interior of the state, while a weak ridgeextended along most of the east coast ofQueensland. Fine weather conditions prevailed overmost of Queensland with isolated showers along theeast coast.

An upper level trough moved over the southeastcoast on the 14th bringing isolated showers andthunderstorms over the southeast and the Wide Bay.

From the 15th to the 18th a ridge of high pressureextended along the east coast of Queensland. Thisbrought fine weather conditions over most of thestate with the exception of scattered showers andisolated thunderstorms on the 16−17th about thePeninsula and the northern tropical coast due to themoist onshore flow.

On the 19th, an upper level trough moved oversoutheast Queensland and a surface trough wassituated over the northwest Coral Sea. Fine weatherconditions persisted over most of the state apartfrom the far north.

On the 20th warmer to hotter than averagetemperatures spread across the Channel Countrydue to the warm northwesterly winds ahead of anapproaching trough. A weakening ridge extendedalong the east coast of Queensland on the 20th and21st. Showers and thunderstorms over the Peninsulaand far northern tropics resulted from the moist eastto northeast winds. On the 21st, a surface troughextended from the northwest of the state to the farsouthern Queensland coast. The surface troughmoved north along the far southern Queenslandcoast while an upper level trough moved eastwardsover southeast Queensland causing showers andthunderstorms.

The surface trough continued to move northwardsalong the Queensland coast on the 22nd. Scatteredshowers and thunderstorms spread from the WideBay and Burnett district across to the CentralHighlands and Coalfields. Showers andthunderstorms also developed over the north andnorthwest of the state.

An upper level low and trough system extendedacross southeast Queensland on the 23rd to the 24thbringing rain areas and thunderstorms. Cooler thanaverage maximum temperatures were recorded overthe southeast and Wide Bay on the 23rd andthroughout the central interior on the 24th. A ridgeextended along the southern Queensland coast froma strengthening high over the Tasman Sea. On the24th showers and thunderstorms developed over thenorthwest and eastern districts of Queensland withfine weather conditions over the central to southerninterior.

On the 25th, the upper level low over southeastQueensland moved southwest into New SouthWales. A surface trough off the far southern coast ofQueensland moved westwards onto the coast. Thisupper low and trough continued to bring heavyrainfall over the southeast corner, particularly overthe Sunshine Coast and adjacent inland areas.Showers and thunderstorms developed across mostof the state apart from the southern interior.
