New South Wales Dry and Warm Conditions Persist

Main Points for November :

• Continued dry conditions across much of the state apart from the north east.
• Sixth highest statewide November maximum temperatures on record (records since 1950)
• Very high diurnal temperature ranges, sixth highest on record, with hot days and cold nights across the dry south of the state.

The latest New South Wales monthly climate summary contains much more detail on the weather across New South Wales during November, and the latest New South Wales seasonal climate summary details the weather for all of spring.

The Bureau of Meteorology expects to issue a climate summary for New South Wales covering the whole of 2006 on the afternoon of Wednesday 3 January 2007 (along with the December summary).

These climate summaries have replaced media releases as the Bureau of Meteorology's main collation of such information. The summaries will normally be issued on the first working day of each month, once all the relevant observations are received (for example, maximum temperatures for the last day of the month are not available before the thermometers are checked at 9 am on the 1st). The summaries will cover what has happened across the whole state. An archive of earlier months will be kept at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/month/nsw/archive/, with an archive of earlier seasons at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/season/nsw/archive/
