Monthly Weather Review

New South Wales

October 2011

The Monthly Weather Review - New South Wales is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's NewSouth Wales Climate Services Centre.

It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in New SouthWales 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 New South Wales makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over thepast 24 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 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 20 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.

Synoptic summaryOctober was dominated by a series of high pressuresystems interspersed with low pressure troughs,which triggered most of the rain during the month.

The month began with a low pressure trough centredover NSW, triggering rain and thunderstorms alongthe coast, while a high pressure system over theBight drove cool southerly winds into the state. Thishigh pressure system brought clear conditions as itcrossed the state over the 3rd and 4th, before asecond low pressure trough on the 6th. Thisextended into northern Australia, drawing moisttopical air into the state and triggering moderate rainin inland parts of the state, with further coastal fallson the 8th.

From the 10th to the 12th, a high pressure systemover western NSW and southerly winds drove cool,clear weather over NSW, with temperatureswarming on the 13th as winds became morenortherly. This was followed by an additional troughon the 15th, driving moist tropical air into the stateand triggering rain across northeast NSW, in additionto locally heavy falls in the Wollongong area.

A further high pressure system moved over NSWfrom the 16th, lingering over the east of the stateuntil the 23rd. This system brought generally clearconditions and northerly to northwesterly winds,associated with well above average maximumtemperatures across the state, while a weak lowpressure trough on the 21st and 22nd caused norainfall in NSW.

Another trough and associated cold front broughtmoderate rainfall and cooler temperatures to thealpine areas of NSW on the 25th, and triggeredlocalised thunderstorms, rain and cool conditions incoastal NSW on the 26th and 27th, while northerlywinds continued to bring warm, dry conditions ininland NSW. The month concluded with a final lowpressure trough, which triggered localised rain andthunderstorms in inland NSW on the 29th and 30thand along the north coast on the 31st.

Temperatures were within 1 °Cacross the state during the month, with coolerconditions in the northeast associated with higherrainfall and cool daytime temperatures, and warmertemperatures in the west and south.

The warmest on average was Wanaaring Post Officewith 22.3 °C, followed by Tibooburra Post Office with22.1 °C, followed by Tibooburra Airport with 21.9 °C.

The coolest on average was Thredbo AWS with4.1 °C, followed by Perisher Valley AWS with 5.7 °C,followed by Mount Ginini AWS with 6.8 °C.

Minimum temperaturesThe average minimum temperature during Octoberwas 10.8 °C, 0.3 °C above the historical average.Most of the state recorded temperatures within 1 °Cof average during the month, associated with closeto average cloudiness across the state, with coolestconditions recorded in the northeast and along theCentral Tablelands.

Temperatures were coolest at the start of themonth, as southerly winds drove below averagenighttime temperatures across the state betweenthe 1st and 4th, with further southerly winds causingadditional cool nights on the 10th and 11th. Later inthe month, a very warm night on the 24th causedtemperatures more than 10 °C above average insouthwestern NSW, including the warmest night onrecord for October at Tocumwal, while most ofinland NSW experienced nights more than 6 °C aboveaverage associated with a low pressure trough onthe 29th.

RainfallThe average rainfall in NSW during October was37.2 mm, slightly below the historical average of44 mm. Rainfall was close to average across most ofthe state, with the highest falls along the North Coastand the Queensland border, reaching 211 mm atThora. In comparison, rain was slightly belowaverage in parts of southern NSW, particularly theRiverina and alpine regions, as well as in northwestNSW near Bourke. The Murray-Darling Basinrecorded 35.3 mm during the month, slightly belowthe historical average of 40.1 mm.

Almost all of the rain during the month wasassociated with the passage of low pressure troughsthrough the state, triggering localised rain andthunderstorms. Such events caused coastal rainbetween the 2nd and 3rd, reaching 74 mm at CareysPeak in the Hunter Valley, as well as localised falls ininland NSW between the 6th and 7th, followed byfurther coastal falls on the 8th and 9th.

Further low pressure troughs brought additional rainto northern NSW on the 15th, in addition to heavylocalised falls in the Wollongong area, reaching100.4 mm at Bellambi, as well as coastal rainbetween the 26th and 27th, while a cold front on the25th triggered moderate falls in the southeast andalpine regions. A final low pressure trough triggeredisolated falls and thunderstorms in inland regionsbetween on the 29th and 30th, reaching 83 mm atBarraba in the northeast on the 31st.

The wettest overall was Thora Post Office with211.0 mm, followed by Nimbin Post Office with209.3 mm, followed by Berkeley (Northcliffe Drive)with 205.4 mm.

The driest overall was Bourke Airport AWS with2.4 mm, followed by Bourke (Gundabooka Station)with 3.0 mm, followed by Hungerford (Willara) with4.0 mm.

The wettest single day was on the 15th, with100.4 mm at Bellambi AWS and 84.0 mm at AlbionPark (Wollongong Airport), followed by 82.8 mm atBarraba Post Office on the 31st.
