Another dry month caps a dry spring - Tasmania in November and spring 2006
Rainfall was below normal in many parts of Tasmania once again
during November, capping off a dry spring and continuing the
generally dry year.
The latest Tasmanian monthly climate summary contains much more detail on the weather across Tasmania during November, and the latest Tasmanian seasonal climate summary details the weather for all of spring.
The Bureau of Meteorogy expects to issue a climate summary for Tasmania 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/tas/archive/, with an archive of earlier seasons at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/season/tas/archive/
