Monthly Weather Review

New South Wales

February 2012

The Monthly Weather Review - New South Wales is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's New
South Wales Climate Services Centre.
It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in New South
Wales for the month.
To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Although every
effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until complete quality control
procedures 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 or
suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us:

Units of measurement
Except 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 periods


Each station in New South Wales makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the
past 24 hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset. In this publication, the following
conventions 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 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 values
The climatological averages shown in the text and tables are generally long-term means based on observations from all available
years of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 20 years of record, as they cannot
then 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.

remained isolated in northern NSW and the mid


north coast, with evacuations ordered for more than
2000 people along the Mehi, Manning, Gwydir and
Namoi rivers. Large parts of Moree were flooded,
including residential areas and parts of the CBD,
isolating up to 10,000 people, as the Mehi River
peaked at 10.7 m, the highest level since 1976.
Natural Disasters were declared in 23 Local
Government Areas, as a result of the flooding from
late January through February.

Severe thunderstorms
February 8 - Severe thunderstorms across the state
triggered heavy rainfall, with 52 mm in 60 minutes at
Dubbo and reports of up to 80 mm in 30 minutes in
the Dubbo region, as well as pea-sized hail. Flash
flooding was also reported along the Mid North
Coast, with 102 mm at Taree and 100 mm at Port

February 9 - Localised severe storms in western


Sydney brought 115.4 mm at Penrith to 9 am on the
10th, of which 81 mm fell between 6 pm and 9 pm
on the 9th. This caused flash flooding in the Penrith
region, with 22 flood rescues in the Londonderry
region and Natural Disasters declared for the Penrith
and Hawkesbury City Local Government Areas.

At the end of the month, a heavy rain event in


southern NSW also resulted in flooding along the
Tumut and Murray rivers from the 28th, with parts of
Cooma evacuated.

Synoptic summary
NSW during February was dominated by the
presence of semi-stationary low pressure troughs,
with above average cloudiness and humidity during
the month.
February began with a high pressure system to the
south of the state and a low pressure trough over
central NSW, driving moist easterly winds into the
state. This triggered moderate rainfall and cool
temperatures in the northeast, expanding to cover
most of eastern NSW by the 3rd.
Conditions eased by the 4th, with a cold front that
crossed the state on the 5th having little rainfall
impact in NSW. By the 7th, a second low pressure
trough extended into the northeast of the state,
drawing moist tropical air into the east, in addition to
renewed easterly winds driven by a high pressure
system to the south of the state. This triggered
several days of rain and thunderstorms along the
NSW coast, persisting to the 14th.
A brief period of northerly winds and clearer
conditions followed, before a third low pressure
trough pushed into the southeast from the 16th,
triggering thunderstorm activity and rain in southern
and western NSW. By the 20th, an additional low
pressure trough had developed in the east, with an
embedded low off the central coast, with storms and
rain extending to eastern and northern NSW on the
20th and 21st.
Clearer conditions returned from the 22nd, as a high
pressure system lingered over the state, with a
northern trough on the 24th and 25th bringing little
rain beyond the Tweed region. From the 26th, the
high pressure system began to move offshore,
directing warm, moist northerly air into the state and
triggering thunderstorm activity in the west. As a low
pressure trough moved into the south of the state on
the 27th, this drew additional moisture from the
northwest of the country, triggering widespread
heavy rain and cool conditions in southern NSW over
the last two days of the month

Anomalies of mean daily maximum temperature in


February 2012

The statewide average maximum temperature


during February was 29.48 C, 1.94 C below the
historical average. This was the 7th coldest February
on record for NSW, and the coldest since February
2008, also a La Nia year. The cool conditions were
associated with well above average rainfall and
cloudiness during the month, as well as a general
lack of hot days during the month.
Most of NSW experienced temperatures at least 1 C
below average during February, with temperatures
closest to average in the west of the state and the
northeastern corner. Temperatures were particularly
cool in northern inland NSW, with temperatures
more then 3 C below average in a region extending
from Forbes to the Queensland border, 17% of the
state. However, few stations broke long-term
records, with the region of coolest temperatures
similar to February 2008.

Decile rank of mean daily maximum temperature


in February 2012

Temperatures were coldest at the start of the


month, as a heavy rain event brought daily
temperatures more than 12 C below normal across
much of inland NSW on the 2nd, breaking daily
records at 7 stations, with further well below
average temperatures in western NSW on the 6th
and 7th. Few days during February had strongly
positive anomalies, with the warmest period in
western NSW on the 18th and 19th and along the
southern border on the 24th and 25th. Temperatures
were generally cool over much of the state for the
rest of the month, with large areas more than 8 C
below average on the 26th and 29th associated with
heavy rain events.

There could be discrepancies between the values shown on these maps


and those at individual locations, as a result of the way the maps are
generated.

The hottest day was on the 19th, reaching 42.3 C at


Tibooburra Airport, 42.2 C at Tibooburra Post Office,
and 41.9 C at Fowlers Gap AWS.
The warmest days on average were at Wanaaring
Post Office with 34.5 C, followed by 34.3 C at both
Tibooburra Airport and Tibooburra Post Office.
The coolest day was at Thredbo AWS with 8.1 C on
the 1st, followed by 8.9 C at Mount Ginini AWS on
the 2nd, followed by 9.4 C at Perisher Valley AWS on
the 1st.
The coolest days on average were at Thredbo AWS
with 14.3 C, followed by Charlotte Pass (Kosciusko
Chalet) with 16.4 C, followed by 16.5 C at both
Mount Ginini AWS and Perisher Valley AWS.

Anomalies of mean daily minimum temperature in


February 2012

The statewide average minimum temperature during


February was 16.84 C, 0.76 C below the historial
average. This was the coolest February since 2008
and the equal 15th coldest on record. Most of the
state experienced temperatures less than 1 C below
average, with coolest nights in the northwest,
including the coldest mean minimum temperature
since 1972 at Nyngan Airport. Temperatures were
cool for most of the month, particularly in the west,
with well above average nights only recorded at the
end of the month, when parts of southern NSW had
temperatures more than 6 C above average.

Decile rank of mean daily minimum temperature in


February 2012

The coldest night was at Charlotte Pass (Kosciusko


Chalet) with 0.8 C on the 6th, followed by 0.9 C at
Perisher Valley AWS and 1.0 C at Charlotte Pass
(Kosciusko Chalet) on the 11th.
The coolest nights on average were at Charlotte Pass
(Kosciusko Chalet) with 5.3 C, followed by Perisher
Valley AWS with 5.7 C, followed by Thredbo AWS
with 5.9 C.
The warmest nights on average were at Lord Howe
Island Aero with 20.9 C, followed by 20.6 C at
Yamba Pilot Station and 20.5 C at Byron Bay (Cape
Byron AWS).
The warmest night was at Wanaaring Post Office
with 25.8 C on the 28th, followed by 25.7 C at
White Cliffs AWS on the 16th, followed by 25.6 C at
Pooncarie Mail Agency on the 5th and Fowlers Gap

Rainfall
New South Wales recorded a statewide average
rainfall of 104.23 mm during February, double the
historical average of 50.7 mm. This was the 11th
wettest February on record, although not as wet as
February 2010 (118.75 mm). NSW has not
experienced below average rainfall during February
since 2006. The Murray Darling Basin also recorded
82.61 mm of rain during February (average
40.38 mm), the 12th wettest on record, although
drier than both 2010 and 2011.

Chillingham on the 25th associated with a low


pressure trough in Queensland.
The final significant rain event of the month
developed from the 27th, as a semi-stationary
trough in southwestern NSW drew moist air from the
Indian Ocean into the state, while northeasterly
winds drew further moisture from the Pacific. These
combined to bring widespread heavy rainfall to
southern NSW, while thunderstorms triggered
further rain in the northwest. Three stations
experienced their wettest February day on record on
the 28th, with records broken at an additional 17
stations including Broken Hill Airport on the 29th,
with falls reaching 141.2 mm at Gurrundurah and
widespread areas recording more than 50 mm,
exceeding their monthly average in a single day.

Most of NSW experienced well above average


rainfall during February, with below average falls
only experienced in isolated regions near the
borders. At least 46 stations across the state
recorded their wettest February on record, with an
additional 69 wetter than any February in the past
twenty years. Rainfall was particularly high in parts
of the northwest, including the wettest February
since at least the 1970s at centres including
Gunnedah, Tamworth, Narrabari and Moree. Large
areas of southern NSW also recorded more than
three times their February average rainfall, including
the wettest on record at Cooma Visitors Centre.

The wettest overall was Yarras (Mount Seaview) with


629.6 mm, followed by 425.0 mm at Bowra Sugarloaf
and 419.8 mm at Careys Peak (Barrington Tops).
The driest overall was Wanaaring Post Office with
4.2 mm, followed by 4.8 mm at both Lake Victoria
Storage and Louth (Bloxham Street).

The month began with heavy rain in the northeast of


the state, as an inland low pressure trough and moist
easterly windflow triggered a band of heavy rain that
extended from the Queensland border to the Mid
North Coast on the 1st and 2nd. Daily falls reached
182.8 mm at Narrabri on the 1st, while seventeen
stations experienced their wettest February day on
record on the 2nd. In particular, Tamworth Airport
recorded 121 mm, breaking the previous record of
111.5 mm set at the old Airport site on 20 February
1928. By February 3rd, the trough triggered
widespread rain across eastern NSW, with falls
easing on the 4th.

The wettest single day was on the 2nd with


182.8 mm at Narrabri (Murrumbilla), followed by
156.0 mm at Bowra Sugarloaf and 153.2 mm at Coffs
Harbour MO on the 1st.
Total rainfall in February 2012

The next rain event developed on the 8th, as moist


easterly flow triggered thunderstorms and heavy
rainfall along the north coast, reaching 102.4 mm at
Taree. These conditions persisted until the 14th, with
thunderstorms and rainfall along the coast, locally
heavy at times, reaching 115.4 mm at Penrith on the
10th and 86.6 mm at Careys Peak on the 15th.
During this period, little to no rain fell in western
NSW.

Decile rank of total rainfall in February 2012

Further rain and thunderstorms developed from the


17th, with falls extending into central NSW. Rain was
particularly heavy in the Metropolitan region on the
20th, reaching 82 mm at Oatley, while moderate falls
were experienced across eastern and northern NSW
on the 21st, including the wettest day in 85 years of
record at Cooma (Kiaora). This was followed by
scattered light falls in coastal NSW on the 22nd and
23rd.

There could be discrepancies between the values shown on these maps


and those at individual locations, as a result of the way the maps are
generated.

By the 24th, conditions were generally dry across


most of NSW, with the exception of the Tweed area,
which experienced falls of up to 85 mm at
