New South Wales in January 2007
Drought continues in the east, monsoon rains in the west

Main Points:

• Tenth consecutive January with above average maximum temperatures.
• Central Australian monsoon rains produce wetter than average conditions in the west
• Dry and warm conditions persist in the east

The Bureau of Meteorology expects to issue a climate summary for New South Wales covering January 2007 on the afternoon of Thursday 1st February 2007.

The latest New South Wales monthly climate summary details the weather for all of January.

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/
