Monthly Weather Review

Victoria

August 2009

The Monthly Weather Review - Victoria is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's VictoriaClimate Services Centre.

It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Victoriafor 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 Victoria 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.

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.

Fog

There was widespread fog during the night of 4/5th10th/11th, 12th, 18th/19th and 22nd/23rdassociated with a ridge of high pressure.

Wind

August 2009 was a typically windy month, with stormforce gusts at elevated and coastal localities on manydays. Over the plains, there were storm force gustson the 3rd, 15th, 16th, 17th and from the 23rd to the26th.

Flood

Minor flood warning for the Mitta Mitta upstream ofDartmouth issued on 21st August and finalised on22nd August

Minor flood warning for the Kiewa River issued on21st August and finalised on 27th August

Flood Watch for the North East Victoria issued on28th August and finalised on 29th August

Synoptic summaryA feature of synoptic patterns through August 2009has been the persistence of intense low pressuresystems to the south of the Australian continent.MSL pressure has averaged between 10 and 14 hPabelow normal across a wide area to the south andsouthwest of Tasmania.

This anomaly combined with pressures only being 2to 4 hPa below normal across South Australia andNSW has meant that surface flow has been astronger than usual northwesterly across Victoria(meaning that those areas exposed to such flow,such as the southwest and west of the State havehad useful rains), with relatively few "coldoutbreaks".

Daily and mean maximum temperatures for August 2009Mean is the average of the daily maximum temperature for August 2009; it is only shown if there are sufficient days available. Anom is thedifference between the mean daily maximum temperature for August 2009 and the long-term average maximum temperature for August.Decile is the decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature for August 2009 in the climate record of other August mean daily maximumtemperatures; “L” indicates this is the lowest on record, and “H” it is the highest on record. Anomalies and deciles are only shown if there aresufficient years of climate record available. The lowest and highest maximum temperatures for each site for August 2009 are highlighted.
