Monthly Weather ReviewAustraliaOctober 2020

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.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.

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/.

Synoptic summary

In the first week of the month, a cold front stretchedfrom south-west Western Australia to the west ofTasmania, and slowly tracked across South Australiaand Tasmania, then New South Wales and Victoria,before decaying over southern inland Queensland.

The associated pre-frontal trough tracked eastwardand extended from north-east New South Wales andinland Queensland into the Northern Territory and thenorth Kimberley by the 5th. On the 6th, broad troughsextended across most of Australia and broughttropical moisture to central and eastern Australia. Alow pressure system developed over Victoria. Fromthe 7th, a low pressure system developed over inlandSouth Australia, then moved across southern Victoriaand Tasmania, and an associated cold front trackedover the south-east of the continent before movingoffshore by the 10th.

Low pressure troughs dominated much of Australia atthe start of the third week, before a large highpressure system established in the Tasman Sea witha high pressure ridge extending along the eastern

Queensland. A cold front tracked across Tasmaniaand Victoria, with a trough extending across SouthAustralia and southern New South Wales on the 15th.From the 16th, a complex surface trough systemdeveloped in South Australia and moved acrossVictoria, and an associated cold front tracked acrossNew South Wales, with surface troughs extendingnorth into Queensland and across the base of the TopEnd in the Northern Territory.

In the fourth week, a weak low pressure systemdeveloped just off the north-east New South Walescoast in the morning on the 19th but quickly movedoffshore by the afternoon. Combining with a troughacross inland eastern Australia, a ridge of highpressure directed moist air over the New SouthWales and south-east Queensland coasts. A lowpressure system soon developed in the east of SouthAustralia and moved into New South Wales, with anumber of troughs extended north to inlandQueensland. A cold front embedded in a southerly


airstream moved from the eastern Bight to the south-east of Australia.

In the last week of the month, a low pressure systemdeveloped in north-east New South Wales and movedslowly offshore then south into the Tasman Sea, with

a trough extending to the Queensland coast. Towardsthe end of the month, a cold front and associated lowpressure system moved across south-east SouthAustralia and western Victoria into inland New Southwales and southern Queensland.


Temperatures

The national mean temperature for October wasabove average, at 1.05 °C warmer than average.

The national mean maximum and mean minimumtemperatures were both above average for October at0.92 °C and 1.18 °C above average, respectively.

Maximum temperatures

Maximum temperatures for October were above orvery much above average across much of WesternAustralia, the far northern tropics, and most of theeastern halves of both Queensland and New SouthWales, extending into parts of bordering Victoria.

Anomalies of mean daily maximumtemperature in October 2020

Decile rank of mean daily maximumtemperature in October 2020

The passage of a cold front across south-west andcentral Australia at the start of the month saw largeareas of south-east Western Australia, southern SouthAustralia and south-east Australia report maximumtemperatures more than 8 °C above average, aswarm north to north-westerly winds were drawnsouth ahead of the front. Behind the cold front, astrong high pressure system in southern Australiapushed cool southerly winds to northern Australia,and extensive areas of rain associated with thepassage of the front resulted in much cooler than

average maximum temperatures between the 3rd andthe 9th.

Areas of southern and central Western Australia, thesouthern half of the Northern Territory, SouthAustralia, western Queensland, New South Walesand Victoria saw temperatures more than 6 °C belowaverage and more than 12 °C below average throughthe interior of the continent. A large number ofstations in South Australia and a few in the NorthernTerritory observed record low October daily maximumtemperatures during the first week of the month.

Maximum temperatures were warmer than usualacross most of southern Australia from the 9th, dueto warm north-westerly winds ahead of a troughtracking eastward. The hottest day was at RoebourneAero with 43.6 °C on the 14th.

As a cold front tracked across south-east Australia,rainfall from a cloudband and the cold front broughtcooler than usual maximum temperatures to southernand south-east Australia from the 16th.

From the 23rd until the 26th, widespread areas ofshowers and rain saw large parts of southern, centraland eastern Australia report much colder than usualmaximum temperatures. The coolest day was atMount Baw Baw with −0.1 °C on the 25th.

Persistent above average daily maxima were recordednear the west coast of Western Australia andexpanded to the state's central and south-east fromthe 25th until the 31st.

Locations in the inland Gascoyne report temperaturesin the high 30s to low 40s. Eastern Queensland alsosaw above average daily maxima at the end of month.

Minimum temperatures

For Victoria, the mean minimum temperature for themonth was the third-highest on record for October.No other state nor any territory placed amongst theten warmest on record for mean minimum Octobertemperatures.


Anomalies of mean daily minimumtemperature in October 2020

Decile rank of mean daily minimumtemperature in October 2020

The mean minimum temperature for the month wasabove or very much above average for most ofAustralia, although much of Central Australia, parts ofnorth-west Western Australia, the south-western halfof Tasmania, and some pockets of east coastQueensland were close to average. A few sites inNew South Wales had their highest October meanminimum temperature on record.

In the first week of the month, areas of more than6 °C above average minimum temperatures expandedfrom western and southern South Australia to thewestern halves of Victoria and New South Wales.From the 4th to the 9th cool anomalies spread acrossmuch of Western Australia, and into southern parts ofthe Northern Territory, northern South Australia andsouth-west Queensland. Minimum temperatureswere more than 12 °C below average in central toeastern Western Australia on the 7th.

Minimum temperatures were cooler than usual acrossmuch of the eastern half of Australia from the 10th tothe 12th.

On the 15th, warm air drawn down from the northahead of a trough brought warmer than usual nightsacross eastern Western Australia, much of SouthAustralia and western New South Wales, with someareas in southern South Australia reporting minimumtemperatures more than 12 °C above average. Muchwarmer than usual nights affected much of centraland then eastern Australia from the 21st to the 24th.

Cooler than usual nights were reported over centraland eastern Australia. The coldest night was atkunanyi (Mount Wellington Pinnacle) with −5.5 °C onthe 25th. In contrast to warmer than normal nights inthe western parts of the continent near the end of themonth. A small pocket on the coast of the westernKimberley in Western Australia observed a cooler thanaverage mean minimum temperature for the month.Some stations in the north had record low Octoberdaily maximum temperatures, while others scatteredacross the state had their coolest October night onrecord.


Rainfall

October rainfall was 35% above average for Australiaas a whole.

Total rainfall in October 2020

Decile rank of total rainfall in October 2020

Rainfall for the month was above average acrossmuch of the country, and very much above average(decile 10) for October in large parts of South Australiaand adjacent south-west New South Wales, areas ofthe Northern Territory, eastern Victoria and NewSouth Wales, and the east coast of Tasmania.

Rainfall was below to very much below average forthe south-west of Western Australia, and a largenumber of stations had their lowest October totalrainfall on record, or lowest for at least 20 years.Rainfall for the month was also below average for anarea of the Warrego and Maranoa in Queensland.

At the start of the month, a cold front moved acrossthe south-west and southern Western Australia andbrought mostly light rainfall. By the 3rd, the cold frontextended from the eastern interior of WesternAustralia to Tasmania and moved slowly acrosscentral Australia to western Victoria and New SouthWales, stalling near Tasmania on the 4th and 5th. Thecold front tracked over the south-eastern states andsouthern Queensland on the 6th. Thunderstorms withmoderate rainfall developed over the southern half ofthe Northern Territory, and across parts of northernand southern South Australia, and south-west Victoria.

Further moderate falls continued across most ofTasmania, except in the north-east.

A low pressure system developed over Victoria on the6th, and tropical moisture flowed south along aninland trough extending from the low in Victoria toanother in the Top End of the Northern Territory withassociated rainfall along the path of the trough.Widespread moderate falls were reported acrossCentral Australia on the 6th, and from the Top Endthrough Central Australia and across large parts ofSouth Australia on the 7th. A low pressure systemthen developed in eastern South Australia anddeepened as it tracked over western and southernVictoria. The low pressure system moved overTasmania by the 8th and produced widespreadmoderate falls across large parts of south-eastAustralia.

For the period from the 4th to the 9th a large numberof stations in Tasmania, Victoria, the NorthernTerritory, and South Australia observed daily rainfallrecords for October, with some stations in each stateobserving their wettest October overall.

A surface trough extended from the Gulf Country tosouthern inland Queensland from the 11th, withthunderstorms and showers developing over north-west, central and south-east inland Queensland, andnorthern inland parts of New South Wales from the12th to the 15th. Broad areas of low pressure acrossnorthern Australia produced showers andthunderstorms over the Top End for several days fromthe 16th, while a low pressure system and surfacetrough tracked across south-east Australia generatingwidespread moderate falls across much of Victoria onthe 17th. A cold front and trough moved over north-east New South Wales, and generated widespreadmoderate falls over southern and south-eastQueensland, and north- east New South Wales on the19th.

An inland surface trough then extended from south-east Western Australia and central parts of theNorthern Territory, and extended further east intocentral parts of Queensland. Unstable conditions nearand to the south of the trough producedthunderstorms in southern inland and easternWestern Australia, and north-west and southern partsof the Northern Territory.

By the 22nd, a complex surface trough systemdeveloped over inland parts of the continent with themain trough stretching from south of WesternAustralia to central parts of the Northern Territory andextending further into Queensland and eastern NewSouth Wales. A low developed over eastern South


Australia combined with a series of surface troughsover inland eastern and northern Australia. Long cloudbands with embedded thunderstorms producedwidespread moderate falls across large parts of inlandQueensland and New South Wales, central andeastern South Australia, most of Victoria and northernTasmania on the 24th.

At the same time, a trough across the NorthernTerritory and Queensland produce d thunderstormswith moderate falls across northern parts of theNorthern Territory, the Cape York Peninsula andeastern Queensland.

At the end of the month, a cold front and complexlow pressure system crossed New South Wales andsouth-eastern Queensland, with a cloud bandspiralling into a low over central New South Wales.Moderate falls were reported over much of southernNew South Wales. A large number of stations on thecentral and Mid-North Coast of New South Wales hadtheir wettest October day on record during the lastweek of the month, while a large number of stationsin the state also had either their highest October totalrainfall on record, or highest for at least 20 years.
